Could it be the increase in aircraft flights? Those contrails would
have
an effect Id have thought.

.... there is an article in the new 'Weather' magazine about contrails
.... have not yet read it, but good timing! Certainly from my
*subjective* experience (i.e., have not got a continuous record to back
this up), contrail-spread cirrus seems more 'obvious' than in the 1960's
and 1970's here in the south of England.

I think it was in another ng that someone commented that night skies
were much clearer immediately after 911 when civil aviation virtually
ceased for a few days.
