0730z Var F1 20km 4Ac070 7Ci220 22.7/16.1 1014.0
RMK: Dark grey-blue tint to the Ac to the WSW
0900z NW F3 12km 6Ac070 6Ci220 23.4/14.4 1014.6
RMK: At 08z there was an extended blow (I'd hardly
call it a squall) from the NW lasting almost 5 minutes,
probably F 5-6 at its peak. At the same time the vis
dropped to 6km and there was a bar-kick of almost
1 mbar. No ppn, but we were beneath a line of quite
substantial AcCas elements at the time
1200z Var F2 8km RA 5Ac070 8AcAs120 19.4/17.0 1015.0
RMK: Rain started 11z with scattered drops the size
of half-crowns. Mod rain from 1130z. No thunder heard,
but then I was in the dentist's surgery between 11 and 12.
Vigorous barograph antics (+ or -2mbar) in the last 3hr.
