Joe, there was some breaks over northern England and north Wales,
probably helped by lee effects. E.g. Hawarden :-

Jon.

Hi Jon,

Thanks for those METARs, which show that 5-7/8ths of cloud at 1800ft
observed at 1250Z had cleared by 1350Z, for those that don't understand
these things.

Rob McElwee mentioned the cloud breaking up over N. Wales and Wirral area
due to lee effects on NW Tonight, yesterday evening.

Joe
