When we headed out to start the seal count today the weather was quite acceptable. Not as windy as forecast, the showers were missing us and it was warming up. In the space of an hour all that changed and we were pelted with hail, caught up in a thunderstorm, dried off in a brisk wind and then back to pleasant sunshine! See below for some photos:
Not too bad looking east towards the mainland when we set out
Foreboding angry clouds to the west however.....
We were soon being pelted by hail the size of peas while thunder rumbled all around
A rainbow hinted that fairer weather was to follow
And sure enough it did!
Although the view to the south said it might not last long......
