Went for run out on the motorcycle this evening to Antrim and the foreshore of Lough Neagh. Sat down to drink a coke and watched the developing thunderstorm in the distance.
After a while it became immediately apparent that the cell was developing into a very heavy rain storm heading in the direction of Belfast. I headed back at a rate of knots.
Just got in and got the bike under cover when the shelf cloud rolled over Belfast and the heavens opened with hail and torrential rain.
