Hail.

The sun is streaming in the window on my back at the moment but at lunch time we had thunder, lightning and hail!
 It was very loud on the roof.

 We had a white looking orchard. Note these kiwifruit vines have just been pruned and the canes tied down. No new leaves yet that could be damaged. It is possible some of the growers who have gold vines may have got new leaves spoilt. The gold variety is earlier than the green.

  This one shows the hail stones falling.
 I'm off for a walk but I will take my umbrella.
