After the hail the other day I looked out at my gazebo to check if it was still standing and it looked fine but with what I thought were leaves on the top. Yesterday I went for a closer look and found that it had been shot through with a machine gun. I will need to have a close inspection of my tiled roof

Hail ? There were reports in France of “golf ball sized” hail stones destroying roofs;

The mayor of one town described the storm as a catastrophe with roofs and car windscreens damaged. Most departments remain under weather alerts

Needs a careful inspection as to how extensive damage is, hope it is limited to just a couple of panes of glass. 🤔

Our hail was not all that large but it was fast-moving - like little bullets. It destroyed our smaller plastic solar lights.

We were on a France Passion site a few years ago. They had their cherry orchards covered with netting which I thought was to keep birds away. But no, it was to provide protection from the severe hail they get. They insisted we bring our motorhome under the protection of their barn.

We heard what were like successive cannon shots dancing among the clouds, wave after wave of that. As I understood from Monsieur this was some kind of high tech attempt to disrupt the coming storm.

20 degrees and cloudy forecast for Cheltenham today

17 degrees and a right old mix of sun/cloud/rain/lightening storms forecast for Dawlish Warren today.

Been nice again today, Sat & Sun peed it down greatly in the afternoons.

We were promised some rain but none has arrived yet. Farmers are getting desperate Mark, next door, commented that it will wait until harvest and then chuck it down!
Is anyone else getting lots more wind (of the meteorological kind ) then we used to get?
Also are the nights warmer than they used to be?
