Has been rather muggy today, and about 1hr ago the skies went
black with lightning in the distance. As it came closer there was signs of
rotation and the skies just opened up with a strong squall and hail.
Very impressive for april!

Line convection. How long did it last ?

I see there are quite a few spherics ahead of this cold front from Spain, up
through France and now into SE England.
No TS at Guildford, but another welcome 4.8mm of rain in 90mins around 5pm
local.

I agree about the cloud, particularly towards the end when the setting
sun turned everything orange and then purple. Very gusty too - quite a
lot of new leaves have been stripped off the trees.

One rumble of thunder heard here at 19:12.
