    First day has felt like Spring in London. That humid feeling.

    Active storms in the Thames estuary at the moment, a few cracks in central London around 7pm.

    Driving up the M7 this evening there was a feast of rainbows.

    Saw at least two doubles, and I reckon maybe one very faint triple.

    Some nice matured CBs and sheared anvils about this afternoon. That deep layer shear, even though just a small amount makes a huge difference.

    Doomsday! That squall was almost scary - cant believe there wasn't a flash and a rumble in it, very dark too.

    5.3c now - the mean temp for December was 9c

    Big squall line hitting Dublin CC now ...not fun watching two poor building crane drivers having to quickly drop their loads at the old "Windmill Lane" location along the quays Must not be fun seeing those fronts come in from that vantage point ..as it hit them they quickly turned with the wind.


    **Back to work for those Cranes ...just as the line passed ..no time wasters these lads ...feck that , they must get extra danger money for days like this !
