Humidity also very low today, my Acurite humidity temp monitor reached down to 50% this morning, still 52% now. Usually its between 65-80%. Guess that's why I was still feeling cold at 27C when I wake up this morning

[hydroep]

ok rain, lightning and thunder in Chaguanas

Most streets in enterprise were blanketed with water, a few inches in most, up to a foot in some. The water couldn't run off fast enough. As the rain stopped it ran off

Seigonne said there were no confirmed reports of hail.

If hail was present....believe me it would have been all over social media

[Dizzy28]

Seigonne said there were no confirmed reports of hail.

TTWC said hail would have melted and manifested itself as larger than normal droplets of water.
The conditions weren't right for it to fall to the ground (but good enough to form in the atmosphere)

allyuh saw the Severe Weather Bulletin the met office put up Sunday AFTER rain fall forecasting bad weather the following 24 hrs which never happened?
