RMK: Light rain 2030-2100 yesterday, mod rain from 0820
(became light after obs time). Vis ~30km out to the west
where it's presumably not raining yet. Sc layer can't be very
thick because the sun peeked through, albeit waterily, while
it was raining.

RMK: Just the odd spot of rain since last ob, but mod rain just
started. Low cloud is quite lumpy and deserved to be called Cu
rather than St. Upper Sc layer quite thin and position of sun
is not only visible but difficult to look at. I think it's the lowest
midday temp since I moved here!
