Noctulucent clouds. are usually visible well after sunset. I have
experienced this type of cloud on night shifts in the Vale of York - free
from light polution. There is no mistaking this cloud for any other, since
the best times to view are in the early hours and usually in the months of
June and July.

Weak sundog was visible from the Cambridge Beer Festival site at around
17:30 UTC today. Or was it the after affect of Sarah Hughes' Dark Mild
at 6%....?
Did anyone else observe what might have been the year's first
noctilucent cloud at 21:30UTC yesterday? Looked like the real thing to
me, but I'm not sufficiently confident to submit a report.
