RMK: DZ overnight. Misty early.

Cloud looked like it was going to break up about an hour ago with
some blue sky but since become BKN again.
Dithered about going to the coast but decided not to.. Sat image
shows the southern limit of cloud slowly moving N over the Channel.

.... (1040Z/11.40 am BST): beginning to wonder, but here (just inland
from Bournemouth), the ST has finally broken up/dispersed to leave BKN
low-base SC, with CU elements embedded - the merest hint of blue sky
now - fingers crossed!

high-base SC/thin. We're saved!


Martin,

Low cloud has now gone, leaving 5 ocktas higher level SC. Wind was another
factor against going to the coast now have 10KT+ here so I'm sure there must
be a few wind breaks on the beach..

Temp 22.5c at 12Z
