![]() I was on the allotments at One Tree Hill, Honor Oak Park when the storm started at about 1650Z, it wsa too heavy to leave so I took shelter in a hut, which has a polycarbonate roof, torrential rain thunder and lightening continuously for over an hour, a couple of minutes after 1700Z the hail became lager and larger, the rain had dropped of and I thought it was all over, for about 3 minutes there was hail up to 25mm giving a light scattering, some of it apeared to be conical in section, some of it was smashing on the polycarbonate roof. Never seen anything like that before, truly awsome. Rain finally eased off enough to go home about 1730Z. -- Martin Smith |

Jonathan Canterbury, Kent Nearly 40 years ago, I saw a copy of a letter the Met Office had sent to a famous explorer. In this letter, a typo had led to his name being mispelt. The Explorer? Sir Vivien Fuchs. -- Graham Davis Bracknell |
