I remember this time 2/3 years ago I was in town in Manchester on the weekend and it was about 20c. We've had some crazy weather over the last few days. Yesterday it looked like the end of the world was coming.

and here.

Yeah, those supercells over the Great Plains can deliver huge hailstones. Still, they're not as large as the ones which killed 92 people one time in Gopalganj, Bangladesh - they were as large as grapefruits.

We haven't had a day over freezing in about two months, plus last friday we had a snowstorm, during March Break!

Still have about a foot of snow on the ground.

Woah!!!

But how calm was he???! I'd be panicking to death methinks...

Nice! John Peel used to sell hail insurances when he lived in Texas.

***wjfox*** · March 20th, 2007, 06:35 PM

Fucking hell. It's like a blizzard here now.

***Tubeman*** · March 20th, 2007, 06:41 PM

Mad, innit? It just went all ominous again and started chucking it down with snow... no lightning yet though!

The photos look cack though... its so heavy I can't see St paul's from my bedroom

pricemazda · March 20th, 2007, 06:43 PM

fuck me, its a blizzard in central london!!!

eusebius · March 20th, 2007, 09:23 PM

I was wondering how Swiss RE would take hail storms. Does the hail glide down along the building? Would a Londoner be so kind and willing to check?

***Medo*** · April 14th, 2007, 03:19 PM

Fantastic weather here in London. 25°C. Feels like summer.

Erebus555 · April 14th, 2007, 04:00 PM

I know! The sky's a bit dull here because of the haze but it's a good photo opportunity. I'm gutted me camera's got to be sent off for repairs.

Noostairz · April 14th, 2007, 06:08 PM

it was perfect today - not too hot, not too cool - just about right to sit in the park, read the paper, drink beer and get a bit of colour on your skin.

also REEspect to my motherfucking crew for keeping this thread alive - booyakasha!, and so on and so forth.

***Medo*** · April 14th, 2007, 06:22 PM

You have no idea what trouble I went though in resurrecting this thread. I want beer.

Erebus555 · April 14th, 2007, 06:27 PM

Someone's robbed my six pack of beer

. I can't decide who was more likely to rob it; my brother or the rabbits!

Manchester Planner · April 14th, 2007, 07:34 PM

Seems we've skipped Spring and have gone straight from Winter to Summer here in England this year..!

Liam-Manchester · April 15th, 2007, 05:35 AM

23 degrees in Manchester as well, must be nice for you all so early in the year.

Erebus555 · April 15th, 2007, 02:49 PM

It's a bit of a contrast between the post at the top of this page and then what's going on now

Butterfield · April 27th, 2007, 03:01 AM

Help! I've just heard 3 distant long rumbles of thunder within the last 10 minutes. (Don't tell Erebus

)

Æsahættr · April 27th, 2007, 04:14 AM

I want LEAVES on my TREES!
It's almost may!
