Sea breeze kicked in early and briskly at 1320Z today,
as a steady force 4 southerly brushed aside the earlier light northerly regime, as well as shooing away the convective clouds. No Cu or Sc exists in the southern half of the sky, although there is plenty of thin Ci. Off topic but may be of astronomical interest, I spotted a bright green meteor 'flare' complete with trail, low to the southwest, well before nightfall yesterday evening at 2050Z while driving along the M27 just west of Rownhams Services (northwest of Southampton). It would have been startlingly bright if seen after dark.

Thanks for the link to that news item, Martin. The main point perhaps being missed in that article was the fact it was still twilight between 2130 and 2200 local time when the meteors appeared, and in no way could the sky be classed as night. Decaying Cb anvils to the northwest were still lit by the set sun at the time I saw the meteor at 2150 local time, the sighting made more remarkable in that it took my attention while driving.
