Haven't heard anything like this for many years, maybe not even whilst we've been living here ??

Very unusual 

Rain and hailstones down here in La Perla

15mm in as many minutes

Wow Judi, we only managed 0.6mm here, storm passed very quickly

I was working outside in my garden.  Sky was very black and then the thunder cracked directly overhead but I did not see any lightning. It went on for about 5 mins max but not a single drop of rain.
