I know us Brits are always talking (or should I say moaning) about the weather. If we get a really hot day then we complain that we are exhausted,and can’t sleep because of the heat. We don’t like the rain, loathe the snow (especially as the whole country comes to a standstill) detest the wind, and our favourite, whinge about the cold.
Well in the last half and hour, we have had something for everyone! It started off quite mild and pleasantly warm, then suddenly the sky went really dark and we had an unexpected hailstorm (you can see in the pic the hail that settled on the top of the ledge in the garden).
That lasted for about 5 minutes then I noticed there was a lovely rainbow as the sun was starting to come out. (You can just see it between the trees)
I turned to the left and there was a lovely blue sky and fluffy white clouds as you can see.
Now everybody should be happy, as we have had the lot all in one go!
Sounds like southern Indiana. Shorts to heavy coats in less that 48 hours.

The weather is so variable these days. You never really know what you’re going to get. Sounds like an exciting weather day! Hope the hail didn’t damage your plants.

I was worried about my new little seedlings but they seem to have come through it ok, thankfully 😉

That’s good! I thought I remembered your saying that you’d planted some things in your garden. Seedlings are so tender at that stage. Too much sun, wind, or gasp–hail are definitely not conducive to thriving plants. Glad everything’s okay. 🙂

Two weeks ago we had a huge thunderstorm (about 3 hours) with four times hail. The last hailstones all of a sudden got bigger and damaged the surface of the my husband’s and my daughter’s car.

It’s like that here, too. Weather is largely unpredictable, but not nearly as mild as yours.

I thought I had it bad last year the day I turned the heat off in the morning and the a/c on in the- evening – but there was no hail! We had a thunderstorm roll through this week with hail in other areas – both of my boys only concern was that my garden vegetables were okay!

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
