A Scattering Of Squally Hail Showers

[Convective]

Today was quite interesting. Around 8am when I woke up there was driving drizzle up until about 9:15am. After this moved in a series of Cb clouds producing some extremely heavy hail bursts with some rather large sized hail and very qually winds. Although the wind was around 25kmph already, when these showers arrived the winds inside were in excess of 78kmph and gusts of stronger. No lightning seen or reported on the radar. Here are some photos. Comments welcome!

Great shots of the active clouds, where were they taken?

Thanks! These photos were over the East side of the Isle Of Man.

Very well captured! The squall we experienced last week was too dark to get anything sensible.
