Default Clouds at sunset

Saturday evening I was at a pig-roast beside the Thames between Henley and
Reading and was able to watch the sky for a couple of hours.

Initial Cu humilis turned into widely spaced lines of Sc castellanus, and
patches of haze at the inversion level gradually turned into high St and Sc.
There was really quite a lot of cloud (5/8 ?) by dark.

It struck me that I would not have correctly forecast this clouding up.
There was practically no wind in the boundary layer, the performance of a
hot-air balloon showed what little drift there was.
