Default {WR} Haytor 20/1/09 (Sprinkling of snow)
Camborne radiosonde at 0000 UTC shows that a temperature of 4C at 400m asl
will be enough to kick off local Cbs up to 25000 feet. Whether that
temperature will be achieved is another matter of course.

The air is very unstable to sea temperatures as evidenced on the satellite
imagery.
Interesting stuff!
