Fair enough, but in these situations especially when the lows
centre is over
your location, I've seen some beautiful cloud rotation in some of
the
heavier showers
and enjoyed watching scud clouds being sucked up into the cloud
base.
Beautiful.
Cant rule a few funnel clouds out either.

Can bring unbroken sunshine in winter ... as in early-Dec 1976.

I also remember one which lasted three or four days when I was
doing an offshore stint in the Northeast Shetland Basin ... prob
June or July 1977 ... perfect summer weather in that part of
the world with 2 or 3 okta cumulus, unlimited visibility,
about 17 hours of sunshine during the day, hardly a breath
of wind, and with a temperature around 15ºC it felt really
warm in the sun. Anticyclones, by contrast, usually bring
awful weather in high summer: either fog or low cloud,
sometimes persistent drizzle, and a nagging wind from
whichever direction.
