.... here (assuming part of the same event), category roughly 'moderate'
intensity, and diameters no greater than 6 or 7 mm from a quick scouting
about, so we were probably on the 'edge' of the activity above. Time of
onset 1923Z, ceased by 1935Z. Mix of hail and rain, roughly equal
proportions as far as I could judge. A covering on grass (and the Mk 1
conservatory roof observation point) but melting off fairly quickly now.

Only a pattering of hail on the conservatory roof here at 1915,
Bernard - we were eating at the time and would certainly have noticed
anything more significant ...

Three showers of light hail here today, including that one, and yet my
hailgauge was hardly marked. If I hadn't seen the hail myself, I
certainly would not have recorded a 'hail day' on the basis of the
hailgauge marks!
