large hail to 3cm being reported in Sheffield, almost certainly a storm with mesocyclonic rotation, whether persistant, without dopplar radar it can't be confirmed, but a TS with supercellular characteristics

Are you sure? Its 22c here, I dont remember it being that hot last year at this time. Infact even I remember summer being quite crap last year , with the odd burst of sunshine
End of my road after todays rain

I got massive amount of thunder in SE London here, like every 20 seconds acompanied by thunder soon after (cba to work out the distance). Kinda hope it rains though as we've had none for like 4 weeks now.
Hopefully this weeks weather is a sign of what's the come in the summer
hot and sunny is how i like it
