This was taken about 11.25Z today and shows largely clear skies. The
remaining cloud was still evaporating. I've brightened it quite a bit to
show the different colours of the land and nearby shallow seas.

The light colours in the east intrigue me. Would I be correct in assuming
this was the result of light coloured crops (cereals) rather than a sign
of
dry soil?


I'm curious too about the red splotches west of the Humber. Anyone got any
ideas?
