omg- just had what can only be described as a severe hail storm :shock: :!: would post this in the storm reports area, but it says only moderators can post topics

I mean huge, the temperature has dropped from 15c to 4.8c! it is really cold outside :!: At it's peak my weather station recorded an intensity of 44mm/hr with the combined just larger than pea sized hail and torrential rain. I have just thrown a few hail balls, the hail is over an inch deep in some place, even more in others. OMG Thunder :shock: :!: What a storm! I have photos but because the hail was so heavy it was very hard to get good pictures because i couldn't open the window or the doors :!: Will load up soon, going to watch the thunder and lighting in the storm which is now maoving away :shock:

It is like winter outside! it is really cold and the ground is white! I can even hear avalanches of the hail falling from the roofs

:shock: :shock:

Still 3inches of hail drifts in the gutters, but much of the hail is melting, still a partial covering

Just had a hail storm here for about ten minutes, no thunder and lightning though. Some hefty looking clouds kicking about.

[Ross B]

Indeed there are, would not be surprised to see another one

BTW- There is still a 3inch drift of hail that hasn't melted even in the sun

[Guest Mrs murphymoo]

Another hail shower about 1510 - lasted for about 5 minutes this time. Still some big clouds going over

thunderstorm in morecambe bay area

I went into Lancaster University Library about 40 minutes ago.

Problems with finding journals kept me in there for half an hour for what I expected to be a 5-minute trip.

The result? Thunderstorm came along while I was in the library, and stopped... er... just seconds before I came out.

2004 Lancaster Thunderstorm Total: 3

Total that I Missed due to being Inside at the Time: 3

:shock: I have had 2 more thunder storms since earlier :shock: Bringing the total for TODAY to 3 :shock: , what a day Had loads of rain, and there is still hail on the ground from this morning, more than 6hours it's been there :shock: Had a storm about an hour ago, could see lots of CG's more to come?

We get the hot weather. 28.1ºc on Monday, 26.2ºc on Wednesday and you lot up North reap the bonuses. Really no fair!! :-x :cry:

[Guest Mrs murphymoo]

Have had a couple more hail showers with some fairly large hail - but still no thunder & lightning.

[PeterDoswell]

Looks like an organised band of storms has began in the english channel tonight

[Ross B]

Photos at last, sorry for the bad quality and size as it's on a free host for now. Might be able to fix that later

(not in order or anything )

(the renault megan aint mine )

[Thundery wintry showers]

What bad quality? They look pretty good to me... I particularly like the billowing Cb in the second one, actually similar to some I saw here in Lancaster but with a darker base.

[WeatherGod]

Who would have thought all that excitement was kicking off in Scotland whilst cloud broke here to give some pleasant afternoon sunshine, despite a strong wind. Boring really, compared to your fireworks!

Awesome pics

[Convection currents]

nice pics there Ross! I like the 5th pic of the cloud, but then they are all kool!

We just got heavy rain here, and a rumble or 2 of thunder, but i never heard it :?

[Ross B]

lol, They are better quality than i thought they would be. Although they are much better bigger

[WeatherGod]

The bigger, the better eh, Ross...

[Guest Mrs murphymoo]

Great Pics Ross

Especially like the mammatus clouds - they are such weird clouds

[Kent Snow]

Can only really echo what others have said, Great photos Ross. Just love those mammatus clouds!

[Lynxus]

How much hail lol

Wow

Truely lovely

[Ross B]

loads of hail

Thanks guys

[Guest Phil_Uk]

Excellent pics RB506. :lol:

The sunset and the mammatus ones especially.

Why does England get all the heat, and Scotland get the rewards of it this month? No fair I say! :cry:

Not a 'Three fine days then a thunderstorm' scenario this summer so far it seems. (At least for us Birmingham lot anyway!)

Phil.

[Ross B]

i say it's fair because we had to endure all of the low cloud thats been here for weeks doing nothing so we deserved a reward
