.... a complete change from the last few days; a clean, bright, sunny
morning with *good* visibility: only a hint of dawn inversion haze
which should go soon.

On my 0-10 sky colour scale (0=white, 10=deep blue), then we've got 7
or 8 (mostly the latter), in marked contrast to several days past when
it was in the range 4-6, with short periods 2 or 3.

16th day now of the 'classic' Absolute Drought with the top soil bone
dry. Not much sign of significant rain for the rest of the month.

.... (20/1250Z) .. on the same scale as above, a solid '8' for sky
'blueness'; a perfect day with a gentle breeze. No sign of COTRA,
though I see that KLM say they've over-flown southern England earlier.

Martin - on radio Solent they mentioned a good site which shows what
planes are flying where. darned if I can remember the site but may
google later. something to do with 'virtual' 'radar' but more than
that I cannot say but am asking a friend.Apparently you can ping on a
particular plane and it will give you a remarkable amount of detail
