Liverpool Airport Shot from the top of Frodsham Hill an hour ago, in the forlorn hope of seeing some interesting weather...

Had a flurry of sleet up there, wind gusting at about 25 knots, moderate rain and mist. Lovely summers day...not!

I find it hardly likely for sleet, hail yes but sleet with the T and Td values even in the middle of a storm, Td shows no lower than 8-9C anywhere in that area?

For info on the trough and storm associated with it in this area from 1350 until about 1425 see my web page and weather station and the reports I gave on the storms today.

oops just noticed my wind direction is 180 degrees out, it was correct when the mast was re hoisted some days ago-umm!

That's what I thought, it didn't seem "heavy" or hard enough for hail though. It wasn't like a classic sleet shower, is it possible to get something that lies between the two? It felt cold up there in that wind! 

[johnholmes]

I honestly don't know C, it is fairly unlikely at this time of year to get sleet and very unlikely without the dewpoint being no higher than 4 or 5C I would have thought but you were the one there so I must respect what you reported even though I did challenge it in my earlier post.

No disrespect intended

Summary of Today's weather so far: The day started off on a dull and cloudy note, and also a very one too! As we headed into midday, the first signs of brightness started to appear, and since then the cloud burned off pretty quickly to leave bright sunny skies with just some mid level cloud around.

 

Current Weather Now: The Sun is out shining away, which is nice to see with not much in the way of cloud about anymore, however there is still a very fresh breeze about, which just takes the edge of the temperatures off a little.

Lol, none taken. It only lasted for less than 15 seconds, and I was just surprised as I've never seen sleet or "wintry" rain in June round here. It was almost like a soft form of hail if that makes sense, but lighter than hail (ie: it was caught up in the gust of wind rather than falling straight to ground). The hill is about 450ft ASL so not that high really. Anyway, it was miserable up there so I came home!

Weather Report Isle of Wight, Thursday 13th June 2013 at 16:25pm

 

Summery since my last report: Well it has remained fairly bright, but there has been a fair bit of Stratocumulus and Alto stratus developed in the last hour or so. The wind has dropped off to moderate to fresh.

 

Weather now: 6/8 of the sky is filled with a lot of Stratocumulus and Alto Stratus, the sun is poking through every now and then still, and the wind has eased a touch too.

A mostly dull and damp day with only the odd sunny spell and a blustery westerly.

Currently only 12.6c which is pathetic for a June afternoon and unfortunately very reminicent of June 2012.

Aren't you blessed? I've been watching the radar on and off throughout the day as a huge area of rain homed in on my neck of the woods. It was within spitting distance before parting like the Red Sea and missing me completely. Absolutely incredible,couldn't believe it. Now it's sunny....again. What a joke.

[Stargazer]

Overcast with drizzle at times, drier with sunny intervals from early afternoon.  Windy.  Maximum 18.4, minimum 12.8.  Wind fresh W.
