A freak hailstorm has hit Exeter – despite some parts remaining sunny.

The bizarre phenomenon happened at around 2.30pm and saw hail so thick it reduced visibility.

It was so bad it even forced the Exeter Chiefs vs Sale Sharks rugby match at Sandy Park to be temporarily postponed.

A spectator at the game described it as “deafeningly loud” and “pretty intense”.

They said: “It was very heavy, tough to see other side of the ground. The noise was deafening as it hit the roof of the grandstand. It came out of nowhere.

“It started as a rain shower and with in 2-3 minutes it was very heavy hail.

“Even for Sandy Park, where conditions are very changeable, it was pretty intense.”
