Wintery showers

That bank of cloud on the left is full of snow. There have been several snow showers today, but it hasn't stuck.

Weather forecast: sunny intervals.

December 8th

No rain today. Judging from the cloud patterns, there were strong winds at high altitudes, though it wasn't windy at ground level.

The first photo shows the edge of a sheet of stratocumulus stratiformis.

In the second photo, the setting sun is reflected on the underside of a sheet of altocumulus. At the bottom of the sky, you can see virga falling from stratocumulus - the hook-shaped trails underneath the cloud.

After heavy rain last night, there was a lot of stratocumulus today - the edges of sheet of it seen here. Above it, scraps of white altocumulus floccus, whisked up by the wind. In the distance, over the coast, cumulus congestus.

Virga in November

Altocumulus floccus clouds with virga (fallstreaks) trailing beneath on a wet Sunday. The streaks of rain dissipate before they reach the ground.

At the end of a mostly overcast day, some blue sky at the edge of a layer of altostratus radiatus.

Sunny October afternoon

Hardly any rain for weeks, and a summery sky in October at Pin Mill, Suffolk.
