Beautiful clouds in between Canterbury and Folkestone this
afternoon. A cross between Pileus and Lenticularis is the best way I
can describe them. Stunning! And I left my damn camera at home!

What sort of time?


Just checked text message sent to partner whilst looking at them. 12.06pm
today....


Ah ha. Good example of pileus captured by my webcam at 11:58 this morning:

It only lasted barely two minutes. There's a nice sequence showing it
forming and dissipating:
