The hail turned parts of the ground completely white
Videos have captured the moment a “crazy” unseasonal hailstorm hit Cardiff in the middle of spring. The hail was so heavy in parts of the city that car alarms were being set off and the ground turned completely white.
It comes as temperatures have been below average despite summer supposedly being weeks away.
Many parts of south Wales were hit by the “insane” hail on Thursday afternoon which was also accompanied by thunder in some places.
If the hail hadn’t confused people enough, some areas were then treated to a remarkable change in conditions with bright blue skies following shortly after. Never miss a Cardiff story by signing up to our daily newsletter here
The Met Office forecasted “plenty of showers” lingering on Thursday evening and highlighted the possibility that these could turn heavy at times.
The weather agency added: “Becoming mostly dry through the early hours of the morning with some clear spells developing. Lighter winds but a cool breeze remains around Welsh coasts. Minimum temperature 5 °C.”
Friday looks set to be a bit nicer. The forecast says: “The odd early shower is possible, otherwise a dry day ahead with light winds and plenty of sunshine by the afternoon. Feeling less chilly in lighter winds. Maximum temperature 13 °C.”
