23degC but feels a lot warmer. 5-10mph wind. Clear sky apart from several
contrails.

The contrails were developing into cirrocumulus castellanus in lines. There
was also altocumulus lenticularlis going to altocumulus floccus. There were
virga trails and cirrus s****atus everywhere!

I was saying 'thunder risk' this afternoon.... keep your eyes open Jimmy.

My daughter spotted them this morning and told me that "they looked like
feathers" which is a pretty good description from a 5 year old.. they were
contrails gone to patchy cirrus.

Later on the day there was a whole mixed bag of middle / upper level cloud
including the big patch of Ci sp that the webcam caught - it all seems to
have, erm, evaporated again.

Les

Are one of those what's referred to as 'mares tales' (as in a contrail
that
has thinned out and gone very whispy)?

Oh, and I like this 'thunder risk' you mention 80)
