We went dark about ten mins ago Tina I had to switch the lights on. We had hail then all very still and dark - then some heavy rain but only for a few mintes. Its all very still in the garden but no blue sky to be seen.

All the cats have bolted through the catflap and taken to there various fav places around the house.

Just starting here the sky is black and the wind is picking up

Just glad all my lot are in now.

Perhaps I was a bit previous ! its all calmed down although it is still very grey tut!

Having said that you will still be able to see it on the IR images so keep watching. It's over Ireland as we speak and about to hit our south west coast.

Don't get complacent you lot in the north, it is set to hit the whole of the UK with the south west bearing the worst of it.

It's been glorious weather here almost all the time today, and had a lovely walk on the prom. The sea looked awesomely beautiful; and the view was tremendous of Old Harry (the rock) and the Purbecks, and the ferry coming into Poole.

freezing out now, hail storm just hit (Snowdonia Wales) grey clouds and hail heading south east.....blue skies and sunshine out to west still

OOh patches of blue sky back now - but not light enough to bother turning the spotlight over pc off.

OOh and more rain ...

Rose I think you've just had the last of todays showers ahead of that storm...looking at the satellite images I would guess you have a couple of hours before it hits Snowdonia.

I've still got blue sky...... we had a waft of cloud about 20 minutes ago, but the sunset is quite stunning... and highlighting a heavy bank of thick, dark grey cloud moving in.. the leading edge is all tinged in pink... it looks quite beautiful, totally surreal... and a little menacing at the same time, lol!!

Am setting up a bed in the lounge, I think... we are surrounded by large trees, with our bedroom on the *tree-side*... the spare double bed is horribly uncomfortable, and there is no way I'd fit into the travel cot, lol!!

Love

Daff the not so intrepid!! xxxx

Daff its on its way

The fringes of it is creeping over me now

I can see a little girl climbing in with me tonight lol

i'm in bude in cornwall and its rainning but not much wind and the rain is on and off so hopfully they got it wrong

Its gone all v still and quite in the west country and blue sky again but the sun has gone down, I missed the sunset must have been when it all went dark for a bit - but my radio thats normally as clear as a bell is getting a lot of interferance.

'fraid not Mrs Happy, look at the satellite pics...
