That is about 2.5MB There appears to be a fire on the SW tip of the Isle
of Man. What I am a bit baffled about is the wave structure over the Irish
Sea where cloud seems absent Are we looking at a wave structure in the low
level polluted air, beneath the inversion at about 1km? The wave pattern
does seem to be linked with more obvious waves in the clouds near the Irish
coast


The smoke is from a major gorse and heather fire on Bradda Head, brought
about by the unusually dry conditions. We are currently facing water
restrictions due to the low levels in the reservoirs. A lack of rain is
pretty rare here at any time but for the place to be so dry in October
is astounding. Most Octobers' we have problems with flooding.
