Occasional showers of snow through the afternoon and one of
snow pellets 1515-1525Z, the latter followed a longer period of
weak sunshine when the CuSc broke to half cover with 7/8ths of
cirrus above. All of the pptn remained slight, although the snow
pellet shower reduced the visibility to below 10km. The daytime
convection waned thereafter and we're back to flurries from layer
cloud.
