Surfaces damp. Cloud looking a bit convective.

past hour; looking at the Hurn DP ( a few miles to the south of us /
+1.7), I think the curly occlusion must be somewhere down the Poole Road!

That curly occlusion appeared on the Bracknell FSXX a couple of days ago. It
looked really strange but it has come off! What has caused it? It could be a
kind of thermally forced low I guess as ascents have been unstable, bit like
a pseudo polar low maybe? Any thoughts Martin?

Just driven to Brighton and back today and encountered snow flurries
over both the South and North Downs which created that powdery effect
on both the M23 and M25 in a couple of places. Not a lot, but was
notable. Temperature was 7°C at Brighton Marina, 3°C over most the
Downs and back to 5°C here at Southend-on-Sea. Reading off car are
generally about 1°C higher than actual s.

Currently 2.8°C on my Davis @ 16:45
