Extremely
loud
thunder and intense bursts of rain but not lasting much more than 5
minutes
and not showing up too well on radar. The wind at mid level is around 40
knots or so. Rainfall only 5mm due to their brevity


Rainfall from yesterday's storms was 4.5mm, but largeish hail fell ( 5mm)
briefly at 2030GMT.
