Above Metar is from Cranfield, the only translation for NLC I can
find is
noctilucent cloud, but at 8:50 in the morning, also reported (as
NLC without
the haze) at 9:50 (10:50 BST).

Is it a mistake or does NLC mean something else.

I think it should be NSC for "no significant cloud". I guess NLC
was
meant to mean (if you see what I mean) "no low cloud".

Ah cheers, makes sense now.
