BRACKNELL (TF)
0900 NE F4 50km - 1/SC 3/AS 8/CS T092D052
RMK: trace Sc (probably ex-Cu fra from somewhere else); also 2 oktas
Ac/thin; partial solar halo visible (just). None of the cloud looks
threatening.
[ OVERNIGHT DATA (18Z - 09Z):
screen min: 06.3 grass min: 06.0 precipitation: NIL
other data: state of ground dry: could do with a bit of rain. ]=
1500 NE F4-5 60km - 1/CU 7/CI T153D028
RMK: partial solar halo; Cu hum (almost Sc). Cirrus undoubtedly more
complex than just a single layer - dense and no doubt some could be
described as Cirrostratus.=

1800 NE F4 60km - 1/SC 3/CI 7/CI T130D058
RMK: trace of Sc (ex Cu?) around 5000ft; also trace Ac: definitely two
'layers' of Cirrus, with the lower one (probably 20000ft or so)
dense/tortuous elements - the upper layer more conventional layer, with
some COTRA evident.
[ DAYTIME DATA (09Z - 18Z):
screen max: 15.5 precipitation: NIL ]=

[ PS ... still no 'much needed rain' ;-( ]
