Default Cold at Postbridge, hail

At Postbridge on Dartmoor (369m asl) temperature is +5.8C with SSW wind F6
gusting 33 knots and showers, wind chill +1.6C. Just had a hail shower
here (3mm size stones) at 1225 with temperature 9.1C and falling.
Could well be sleet above 1900 feet on tops of Yes Tor etc.
Still it is only April and to be expected in upland Devon.


Blimey, that is a bit on the chilly side.

Quite pleasant down 'ere in the lowlands. Breezy but generally sunny.

Much cooler than of late though it is warming up slowly in the sunshine. 4.8
mm of welcome rain overnight.

(12:30), 13.2°C, RH 64%, DP 6.4°C, 1004 hPa (R), Wind 17 mph SSE.
