... (0655Z/25th June) onwards ... showery 'splots' from medium
level cloud; generally it's Ac str op with small gaps, but there
are a couple of clumps of Ac cast wandering very slowly across,
producing the rain. Just about impacting on the surface.
(0800Z): I think that's it now: the last few spots were around 10
mins ago.

.... (0910Z): spoke too soon! Odd drops of rain falling from residual
Ac cas, and the 2 oktas of Ci in the sky look suspiciously
'incus'-like as if there was something really vigorous about -
probably a good indicator of events to come later this afternoon &
evening. The radarnet imagery over the past couple of hours showed a
developing line of PPN, with some colour-returns suggesting something
more than light intensity.

Looks reasonable at the moment - not really a " Cm=9 " sky as the Ac
and Cc etc., is not really showing instability (apart from the Ac cas
noted above).

'Trace' of rain in gauge from earlier rain - a *measured* trace that
is.
