Gloomy for some maybe!

What I am not clear about is why the cloud developed so readily just inland
of the south coast from east Cornwall eastwards, with a very sharp limit,
when for much of the day the sea surface was warmer than the land. It was a
situation more typical of April/May when the sea is cold.

Even in west Cornwall there was a narrow line of cloud down the spine of the
peninsula, with the coasts virtually cloud free. But there was little
evidence of any sea breeze convergence to create it. Hardly surprising with
high pressure and a sea temperature is still 16/17.

The way the cloud mirrored the coastline was particularly evident down
here. From my vantage point on the North Downs near Folkestone, I could
clearly make out the outline of Dungeness from the clouds. Bit dull in
all - definately needed my tripod for the 1/2sec exposures needed by
5pm/6pm.
