Stormy
The weather was exciting today. A deep low tracked from Cardiff South-Eastwards heading for the Channel over Wiltshire and Dorset, throwing off rain bands which in reality were lines of powerful shower cells with mammatus, hail, heavy rain and gusty winds. On the radar the system looked almost like a tropical one – with concentric rainbands around a clear low pressure centre – but no “eye” or eyewall structure.
I saw lots of rainbows, some spectacular hail and snow fallstreaks (though I was not under any), some inky black skies and some very vigorous convection with huge anvils and mammatus clouds.
