Hail, rain and other big weather over Brixton

I'm holding off going out for as long as possible :eek:

but after the storm comes the prettiness of the rainbows :cool:

I love the summer. One of my friends folks arrived from Trinidad for a visit today to be confronted with this marvellous summer weather. They've not seen "snow" since a visit to Canada in the early eighties. Hail made a fine double. (But not a Trinny double ;) )

Polish barman in my local was adamant it was snow on Clapham Common. I insisted it was hailstones but he was adamant :D
 
same spout here in Streatham Hill, though drastically reduced landmark quality. Got a bigger copy of that GG? I reckon it's the winner of the evening... Looks like a photoshop for "The Day After... Part Two" - To be clear, the picture above, not this one!

Driving through floating ice and a river, in July, in Fulham.

Must have finally tested them 4 wheel drives, eh? Thank god the shopping from Waitrose is dry!

Anyone got any photos of the flooding outside Max Roach at about half-five this evening?

I cycled through that, couldn't believe the amount of water and ice. The puddle on Brixton Road was so deep the wash from the cars had swept the ice across the park - looked like white-capped waves breaking on a beach. Got proper soaked, much to the littlun's glee.

Just like Switzerland, eh Pie old bean?

Actually I think it's coming this way - torrential big rain & dark sky's this morning (and a rather anxious black cat - he's retreated to the safety of the empty Amazon box that came this morning).

Me too. There was a weird kind of mist hanging low on the park too, the place looked eerie.
 
Whilst not nearly as dramatic as the pic Ruby posted, a friend took a pic of the ones over Brixton on his phone:

For anyone interested in peculiar cloud formations, you could do a lot worse than have a look at the galleries of the Cloud Appreciation Society. They've got about a hundred pics of mammatus alone!
