Woke up to find all my seedlings pots knocked over and smashed and soil everywhere  Great.

Seems to have calmed right down know and just steady rain. Fake spring had me fooled!

Has everyone forgotten beware of the march winds. Looks like we are having a traditional march this year. I hope the April showers don't disappoint this year.

It's is very windy here.

Just had an amazing very heavy hail shower. Like those showers of old you would get in summer. Couldn't see the trees outback over the road it was that heavy.

I got school run in an hour or so, so been watching the radar a bit as it's too windy for a brolly (got one that doesn't blow out coming today) to see if i can dodge any rain. My daughter comes out later too as well, so fingers crossed. A lot of showers around today and the hail one pepped up quite quick.

yep had a really nice dark cloud over the school but the rain came half hour later, so missed it too. Thought i saw a few flakes of sleet and according to the radar at the time i might off.

Had a nice heavy shower come through literally a few minutes after my last post. Didn't look for sleet though.

First thunderstorm of the year here. Some big purple coloured bolts. A real kitchen sink mix of precipitation of rain and hail.

Bright, breezy, chilly start here, looks like showers later on, hoping they miss us   

[lottiekent]

Thunder just heard! Must be in the heavy shower running just north of here, looks very dark over the hills

Central London 30 minutes ago..

Winds have picked up again now, but apart from a few clouds, its been a sunny day so far, long may it stay that way. If the winds were lightee, it would feel warm in that sun.

Afternoon everyone, sunny here as well but gusty winds and heavy looking clouds around as well, happy thought only 2wks this weekend and we get an extra hour of light in the evenings

Thanks Suffolk Lady, that lifted my spirits  

I love this crazy kind of weather !

[alexisj9]

Had a heavy shower earlier, no thunder, other than that it's been a nice day.

[Harry's House]

Small hail about 1630 for a minute in heavy shower.  

 

[alexisj9]

Just had a very heavy shower come through, it set car alarms off. Not sure if it was a gust of wind or hail, as didn't look.

[LightningLover]

Just had a fairly sharp squall go through here in Bexhill. Sudden, hefty wind gusts and heavy-very heavy rain. Not much on radar to indicate it's presence though!

The wind seems reluctant to give up this week.
