Default Thunder in Wembury

One clap of thunder at about 1500 GMT.
Lots of hail showers all day.


Mostly light rain showers here and plenty of warm sunshine in-between.
Temperature was pretty constant for most of the day at around 6.0C with
a maximum of 6.5C this afternoon. Rainfall total since midnight is 5.0 mm.

Today's highest temperature actually occurred at midnight (8.1C) though
the peak was 10.6C at 21:00 yesterday.

The conditions soon deteriorated even at modest elevation when compared
to the relatively benign weather here in the lowlands. I visited
Dunkeswell in the Blackdown Hills this morning and the weather was very
unpleasant with horizontal heavy sleet/snow/hail mix blown in on a very
strong wind. Face and hands soon became numb on a site survey due to the
high wind-chill and even the best waterproof clothing couldn't keep that
soaking out for long. Glad to get back down to my 'tropical' enclave of
weather serenity.
