It woke me up just before 8 am, huge crashes of thunder, and the whole of the back patio is white with hail, I thought all of my new plants were going to be destroyed with the force of the hail, I honestly don't think I have ever seen anything quite like it.

Good grief when is summer going to start? our house a few minutes ago.

Those pictures are incredible and it looks like a river....our house is now surrounded by thick fog...it is all slightly mad.

[JimX]

Yes Cherry a river of ice!!

Was the hail big enough to damage cars? Mine is not currently parked undercover and I'm currently travelling so can't check if ok.

Thanks Flossie. This is our first winter in Cyprus and having travelled the world I've never seen anything like it.

I thought getting up at 8 am was early lol.

Was the hail bad enough to damage cars parked in the open, depends on where you live and how big the hail was, if you got away with great.

The photos Jim posted are nothing compared to Kathikas on Sunday afternoon. Insane. If I could work out how to add photos I would.

We were caught out in the open, walking the dogs! We found shelter under a tree! I ran back to the house to collect the car, We were all soaked to the skin and yes, the hailstones do hurt! The thunder scared the dogs, who kept looking for reassurance, which, of course, none was forthcoming! We all got dried off eventually!

Yoouwwweeee! Trees are the last place under which to shelter in thunder and lightning!!!

Cars on the other hand are the best place to be - 4 rubber boots!
