The very same newspaper threatened an onslaught of snow in winter and a May heatwave. Neither happened.

I'll believe it when I see it :D

Haha yeah, now you mention it I do remember the pictures.

Still, I think the forecast reports of the Daily Express (weather, social, political or otherwise) leave a lot to be desired.

Think they got the wrong end of the stick. Had massive halestones in the US. No other weather report shows the warnings for the UK at the moment.
And would it not be all over the news every where...

I had some nasty storm Saturday morning. No hailstones though, just a lot of heavy rain, thunder & lightning and power-cuts.

I was on the river at 8am on Saturday, just as the thunder and lightening started, followed by monsoon type rain. Didn't stop the row, but it was difficult lifting the boat out with so much water inside it. :? Beautiful evening though, and has been very nice today.
