Only for Spain, who named this storm as they are getting the brunt of it.

Not sure it works like that.

Driving down the M1 this afternoon was no fun at all.

Managed to dodge the freezing rain tonight , instead we get 2" of snow . Forecast for 14C by Tuesday so maybe this time Spring has arrived

Spain named the storm because of the affect it is having on them.

For the UK its just a low pressure system creating a bit of stormy weather, not named storm worthy so we don't adopt its name.

In the same way we get plenty of named ex-hurricanes but they are just low pressure systems for us.

Hailstones right now....SW of Bristol. Happy easter

Glad we haven't got any plans for the weekend. Most roads out of our village are blocked due to floods.

Well that aged well, not at least it did not rain until 11.30...

Was searching on google for a couple of things last night, the searches were maybe an hour apart.

Where it comes up with popular searches, the first one both times was "assisted suicide"

"Someone's seen the weather forecast for next week" was my first thought...

Beautiful stunning sunny day here in Deeside. As the locals say, our summer is usually March and April - must make the most of it as it’s forecast to be like this all weekend. Woohoo!

[Jordan247]

Very pleasent but slightly breezy here in Lanzarote..

Hoping to get the first grass cut of the year tomorrow!

I don't think it's rained this afternoon. The road outside is dry

Was cold but sunny on Good Friday in southern Hampshire today.

Blue skies too

It’s a brilliant British day! Hail this morning, sunny at Lunch, hail again this afternoon and now sunny again. Perfect.

Sun, clouds and almost warm today in South West London.

Except for this morning, walking the dog in Richmond Park when I got soaked by a passing cloud.

Wednesday was mad here.
Around 3pm we had some kind of mini tornado whipping up and lots of stuff blowing around the garden along with hail.

Today had new windows and doors and amazingly sunny all day until about 2pm when it was torrential rain again. Luckily there were finished.
Reckons we have had 3x the normal March rainfall already.

Drove to Glasgow this afternoon in largely bright sunshine to be greeted by torrential downpour and heavy hail.. clear now, but chilly. Hoping, if not confident April is better.
