Said it before, but it's really odd how different our weather is. Around sunset the sky here was essentially overcast with thick cirrostratus which dissipated by 9 pm & it's been almost totally clear ever since.

Here in Oxford, the situation has been almost entirely the reverse and I type this as a blanket a of fog prevails outside. Yesterday (Saturday) saw a clear blue sky with very little cloud during the day and extending in to the early evening. Soon after dark conditions turned rather misty and soon became foggy - though I was not totally unsurprised as this had been forecast by the Met Office.

Can't grumble though as I have had FIVE clear nights over this past week. Indeed the weather can stay like this for a few nights more as the Moon approached full and becomes more northerly in declination.
