I spent the last two days in my usual haunt of NW Ireland. After the gales
and rain of Friday night, Saturday was a superb warm sector day with almost
record September temperatures. Lee wave activity was evident, as Bernard
Burton's image shows:

I took a few images of one of the wave clouds and was fascinated by the
fine detail in the cloud. This link shows a few images:

.... stunning pictures (as are the others on your site): thanks for
putting them up for us.

Gliders on Saturday were using wave to 12,000 in lee of Pennines and
Cheviots.

No reports yet about Sunday but I don't normally get reports from Ireland,
so unlikely to get any details

Jack - I think it was you last year who posted about such waves that didn't
seem to be orographically induced. Today seems such a day if we look to
the NW of Ireland on this image - the 13.25z image from Bernard Burtons's
site. With a SW wind those waves (very short in length) have no high
ground upwind.

Also up to 23,000 from both Aboyne and Easterton. And I was one among many
up at 10,000 feet on Sunday; and we had one at 13,500 feet from Easterton
yesterday. So there is plenty of it about.
