BRACKNELL (TAWFIELD)
0900 NE F4 45km - 4/CU T172D089
RMK: 4Cu hum~030. Could almost code as Sc but the mechanism is
obviously convection initiated to temperatures above ~15. Clear above.
Pleasant, if rather gusty wind.
[ OVERNIGHT DATA (18Z - 09Z):
screen min: 11.0 grass min: 09.5 precipitation: NIL [24hr total: tr] ]=

1400 E F4-5 60km - 1/CI T227D086
RMK: 1Ci~300+. The tops of the dry thermals are just about betrayed by
embryonic condensation & immediate evaporation such that they look as if
they are topped by haze - must be highly sheared given the strength and
variability of the wind - the Swifts are having to come very low to
catch the many insects, as the latter aren't rising very far - and this
in turn has brought the Kestrels (a pair recently) down lower as well. A
superb day - feels considerably warmer than the 23C in the screen, with
strong sunshine.=
