This weather!

[Laiste]

For the 3rd time today there's hail piling up at the bottom of the glass of the patio doors like bloonin' snow!

The wind's howling and my pots have gone over again.

I'm chilly and got my big cardi and thick socks on - again.

sigh

no point to this thread i'm just fucked off with it.

I went out in the sunshine to do gardening, then had to run in from sleet. I get you, I've had enough.

At least you haven't booked a holiday in Dubai...

If it does it again i'll take a pic of the hail.

I have just had to board up the windows at work to stop the sunshine getting in (East Anglia)

Beautiful day in Glasgow! Sunny and bright, very little wind. In the sun it's even a bit warm, and that's pretty good in April. I've got the back door and some windows open!

Dubai bloody hell!

Is it just us with horizontal hail then ?! 😫

It's lovely here. I've been feeling overdressed - really didn't need my coat!

East Mids here and it's exactly like that here. Whilst beautiful sunshine.

WTF?!!!!

We just had an unexpected mini storm, thunder, lightning, hail bashing the windows, now the sun is shining, although to the North is a fearsome indigo
cloud, birds singing, air is clear and sweet now.

When I was little, our ndn lived at the end house, her fence curved, then ran
along the length of her garden, down to her orchard and gate, quite a distance.
All the way along was a Lilac hedge, prolifically flowered, after rains, the scent
was heady, wonderful.

And now thunder has joined the party!

lol yes it was blue sky and sunny about 10 seconds before the last big hammer down.

DD ran in from school just in time!

@SOxon that's lovely 😊

And yes there's something wonderful about a low brooding sky slowly coming your way. When the sun shines and lights the tree leaves up brightly, but you know it's all going to change soon.

Yes sun’s out but it’s bloody freezing

I’ve got the heating on (south east). Also got slippers and three layers on. Think it’s supposed to frost tonight. Fed up.

We had the exact same weather here (oop north) yesterday! So weird. One minute there was a blue sky and lots of sun, then the next, a mad hailstorm. But today has been lovely, lots of sun and blue sky, and quite warm without that freezing cold wind we seemed to have for ages. Hoping the better weather reaches your area soon, OP! I'm sure we're all sick to the back teeth of the cold and the endless flipping rain.

I have been listening to Paul Hudson (weatherman) on the radio.

The wet weather has been extremely bad news for farmers, not only in the UK, but parts of France and Germany. The farmers haven't been able to do any planting and they have lost lambs and cattle to this weather. The Mediterranean countries have drought, and as a result food prices everywhere are going to rocket.

I think I will try and grow more of my own vegetables this year.

Crazy weather today. I thought I was being a real wimp as I had to put my heating back on. All the seasons in one day!

We have just had thunder and lightning. Something I normally associate with hot weather.

I've been out delivering door-to-door the last few days. Sweating one minute, freezing the next, howling winds and occasional outbursts of sideways rain/hail

It's been warm and sunny today in Yorkshire but it was raining sideways yesterday.

I'm just north of Sheffield. It has been 12 degrees today, which is decidedly not warm.

Where has it been warm in Yorkshire today?

Wakefield has been warm.
