1800 SW F3 12km 4000E -TSRA 3/CB 5/SC //AC T222D192
RMK: 3Cb (at least two cells with merged mid-level cloud
elements)~035, 2Cu con~040, 5Sc~060/070, Ac (not sure of amount)~120;
total cloud amount 7 oktas. Thunder still just 'rumbling' about
without dramatic effect. Rain mostly light. Rainfall has lifted the
dewpoint considerably - only the breeze is stopping it becoming highly
oppressive.
1530 - current: thunder activity (multi-cell/CC or IC discharges),
infrequent, with periods of rain, only occasionally moderate
intensity: main activity to our east: some very large, non-disrupted
droplets for a time capturing the sunlight quite dramatically. ]=


.... 1850Z: haven't heard thunder for at least 15 mins, so I think we can
declare that event over (technically, should be 10 mins). Still active
Cb's about, but on the whole, it's turning a *little* less humid. Rain
ceased some time ago.

Martin.
