Out for a bike ride today, there was some excellent mid-level convection
going on this morning, ahead of the cold front.

Near Diss, there was a brief, small and very isolated thunderstorm around
midday. Quite a surprise - the clouds didn't look deep enough.

Early afternoon, in Reading, there was a marked clearance of the upper
cloud associated with the CF.
I noticed Some Ac and Ci Castellanus at this time on the rear edge of this
cloud sheet as it moved away to the East.


Ahead of the front, I saw some Ac Cas this morning when I was out around 7am
plus some thick clumps of Ci that must also have resulted from instability.
