Default [WR] Helensburgh: Funnel Cloud.


My daughter 'phoned at 14:15 to report a funnel cloud over Helensburgh
(12kms to our SE) showing signs of rotation.

Unfortunately, I'm in the middle of cutting the grass, which took
precedence over my usual scientific objectivity, so no further
information except that it's heading 'your way'.

I have the camera ready.

Here, currently, it's quite dark to the SE, temperature 20.2°C, RH 65%,
wind calm.

Not much to add from daughter except that it was rotating, descending
from a dark cloud and spindly at the bottom. I'll have to buy her a
digital camera...
