BRACKNELL (TF)
0600 CALM 0400 FG 7/CI T023D013
RMK: Fog limits reached within past 30 minutes.=
0700 VRB F1 4000 BR REFG 1/AC 7/CI
RMK: Out of fog limits ~0635Z - rapidly up to at least 4km.=
0900 W F1-2 5000 BR 2/AC 8/CS T062D053
RMK: I have to be honest and say I'm not sure if the main cloud is
thin/high Altostratus or very thick/low base Cs - decided on the latter
from the character of the sun shining through it, but no halo seen:
suspect a lot of thick Cirrus on top of this layer.

1200 NNW F2 4000 HZ RE-RA 7/ST 8/SC T076D055
RMK: A few drops of rain within past half-hour; chilly, hazy day now
after the Stratus rolled in after 0930Z.=
1500 NNW F3 10km -RA 1/ST 6/AC 8/AS T089D052
RMK: A real old mess with the cloud - the Stratus to the north, some 2
oktas of shallow Cu also present, with Ci seen vaguely through the As
where it is thin enough! It is one of those occasions where you think it
shouldn't be raining - but it is, quite big drops!!=

1800 NNW F2 15km -RA 6/SC 8/AS T080D057
RMK: Sc looks to be high - perhaps around 6000ft. Rain now odd spots,
but a period of steady rainfall earlier has left the ground nicely damp.
