A full 18 hours of moonshine tonight (well, 1500 today until 0900
tomorrow) with the moon at the highest position in the sky for 18
years. 5 degrees higher than midday midsummer sun because of the
moon's inclined orbit.

Interesting. I've got a theory that there's more reports of sky clear
(now coded as NSC - nil sig. cloud) in foggy situations when there's
a good part of the moon showing and the fog is relatively thin. I
doubt the theory will be tested tonight though.

Great overnight pics from the Met Office night visibility cams at Aviemore
and Eskdalemuir - almost like daytime shots complete with pale blue sky and
full colour scenery
