BRACKNELL (TAWFIELD)
0900 NE F4 45km - 4/CU T172D089
RMK: 4Cu hum~030. Could almost code as Sc but the mechanism is
obviously convection initiated to temperatures above ~15. Clear above.
Pleasant, if rather gusty wind.

1400 E F4-5 60km - 1/CI T227D086
RMK: 1Ci~300+. The tops of the dry thermals are just about betrayed by
embryonic condensation & immediate evaporation such that they look as if
they are topped by haze - must be highly sheared given the strength and
variability of the wind - the Swifts are having to come very low to
catch the many insects, as the latter aren't rising very far - and this
in turn has brought the Kestrels (a pair recently) down lower as well. A
superb day - feels considerably warmer than the 23C in the screen, with
strong sunshine.=

RMK: [CAVOK] - 1Ci spi~300+. Wind F5 for lengthy spells this afternoon,
with a short period (around half-an-hour) of true F6 mid-afternoon.
[ DAYTIME DATA (09Z - 18Z):
screen max: 23.5 precipitation: NIL
other data: Item on BBC 'South Today': two heath fires today, one in
North Hampshire & one in SW Surrey. With the wind & humidity as it is,
I'm surprised we haven't had something closer to home. ]=
