Dry and mostly sunny until 1610Z. A shower of 25 minutes
duration then followed, mostly slight, occasionally moderate
with small, clear hail noted at 1620Z and 1622Z. The shower

hail without rain at 1635Z. All of the stones were of 3mm
diameter or less.

The temperature fell by 4 degrees Celsius during the shower
and the wind peaked at 31kt. A double rainbow appeared
at 1635Z as the shower began to recede. Sunny again now.
