Temperatures taking a hammering in showers, Heathrow falling 4.4°C in
the 10min period to 1630Z as a line of heavy showers moved through.
Bournemouth also recorded a similar change this morning.

It's been a fantastic day here in Norfolk. I love it when
Generalisations lead to useless forecasts

The forecast clearly stated heavy thundery showers for East Anglia (
presumeably Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, Cambridgeshire) but nobody
mentioned that Norfolk was exempt.

The steep lapse rates are sampled well by the 11Z Watnall ascent -

Well the TAFs correctly played down the risk for Norwich. However,
showers are feeding in across East Anglia now that the flow has
veered and there's some larger looking tops over that way on the visible
imagery.

Yes, Biggin Hill also went from 11C at 1620Z to 6C at 1650Z. Not bad
for March.

Norfolk is more than just your house.

I came back to Bristol from my fathers in Downham Market (in Norfolk on
my atlas), leaving just before midday and it was p!ssing down there,
with hail, and what looked suspiciously like very wet snow on my car
windscreen for a short time, although the outside temperature was +7C.
The biggest temperature drop in a shower I noticed was just south of
Evesham on the A46 where it went from +15 down to +8 in a hail shower,
but travelling through a shower makes this rather unreliable.


We don't count Downham Market as Norfolk - it's the Fenland influence
you see...

Yes, we have since had a light shower - and a nice rainbow.
