Guildford May 2006 Data
"Martin Rowley" m wrote in message ... "Phil Layton" wrote in message ... For all intents and purposes its GS all the way as I rarely have seen hail greater than 5mm in diameter. ... your comment sent me to look at our records (Bracknell/Tawfield since 2000), and the figures using the climatological distinction between hail with diameters 5mm and =5mm (slightly different to that used for the GS/GR split). Year: dia: 5mm =5mm 2000 9 3 2001 10 0 2002 5 1 2003 9 1 2004 11 3 2005 8 2 2006 7 0 (so far) As you write, the larger hail not common, but I wouldn't use the word 'rare'. It's surprising how large apparently 'small' hail is when you get out there with a ruler. (To the amusement of my wife when the stuff is absolutely heaving down!) Martin, I think you are right 5mm is borderline but the American 3/4" I certain Ive not seen! Ive posted a couple of images of the better hail here!

From 13th May 2003 http://www.layton.me.uk/dsc00472.jpg http://www.layton.me.uk/dsc00471.jpg Phil I've seen 10mm a couple of times in the UK but not for a while, but saw hail that was at least 25-30mm during a super cell storm in Indiana in 2000 - IIRC a F3 or 4 tornado touched down 20 miles from us that night. It was the most impressive storm I've ever seen, lasted over 2 hours with nearly continuous lightning and golf ball sized hail. I was very glad to be in a solidly built hotel tracking the storm on the weather channel whilst watching it through the window.
