Crispy said:It's always cold up there. What, you think the snow defrosts off everest every summer?
i know it's always cold up there but why don't we normally get hail in july?
what is different now to the average july that is causing us to get hail where there isn't usually...
(he's doing this on purpose you know kids)

The following psytrance is baṉned: All
thunderstorms make much taller clouds than normal, with big columns of hot air shooting up into the sky - they look like hammer heads from a distance. For hail to happen, the cloud has to be tall enough to reach the coldest air, which causes water to condense and freeze. The hail stones have to be big enough, and fall far enough away from the rising column of hotter air, to make it back down to ground.bluestreak said:
There's often hail forming, falling, melting and rising back up again without you even knowing it.
Today, the storm is big enough, and the cold air is cold enough for the hail to make it to ground.
PS: This is half fact, half conjecture, but I think the above is correct. Meteorologists, smack my wrists if I'm wrong.
It were mere slush 'Ere Aht Eeest 
(Hail is quite normal during thunderstorms, which are a normal feature of summer. It's because thunderstorms are very tall, and the water goes right to the top, where it's very cold, and comes hurtling down again in lumps.)

almost floods
There is even a high tide of hail and crud on the curb in front of the shops where the flood water has washed it up to.

hailstones are one of my favourite weather features even after getting my windscreen cracked by the fuckers a few miles outside of Armpit, Indiana once
i'm in Crystal palace at the moment and we didn't get any which is probably just as well as my flat block is so flimsy it'd probably collapse after a good spraying of nature's little white wonders

You lot have poor memories - hail is a summer phenomenon, you dummies! I was on my bike, right in the middle of it. It was awesome! I did have to get off for a bit though cos it hurt.

Just seen footage of Brixton Road/Ferndale Road and the flooding was shocking. I saw a waterfall coming off the roof of Morley's. Crispy/Sparrow - you're not leaking are you?

I set off home from Canary Wharf at 5-ish, so me and my bicycle caught the brunt of it :-( It didn't look too bad this morning either, so I ventured out on my skinny bike and had to travel through that Biblical weather in a layer of lycra and with no mudguards. Sat at home toastie now though! Anyone got any photos of the flooding outside Max Roach at about half-five this evening?

I've just had an awful thought. I chopped down my jungle a couple of weekends ago and didn't bag it as it was still wet. I'm now having to get dressed and go and make sure I've not been flooded. Oops
