.... (23/1515Z): well, it's all go again: rain off and on from 1330Z,
ocnl moderate, then at 1440Z, isolated 'rumble' of nearby thunder,
with another CG strike seen about 5 mins later. This was accompanied
by an intensification of the rain (heavy category for a short time),
with a couple of bouts of mostly small hail, but I've just had a look
at the deposits, and can see a few 5mm diameter.

PPN csd now, all surfaces thoroughly wet, with water lying on soil
surfaces that are still cold & compacted. Hail particles sparsely
scattered.

OAT 3.5°C.

Martin.
