A lovely sunset across the northeast of Scotland this Monday, which I managed to completely miss despite having a camera with me at the time, so I deferred to these excellent images from the BBC Weather Watchers website.

A distant CB

Dear Diary
I spotted a distant CBCB Cumulonimbus cloud. Well-developed cumulonimbus clouds are characterized by a flat, anvil-like top looking northeast down the Strath this morning. I reckon it must have been was some way off the coast of Caithness gauging by the weather radar and the satellite imagery.

That distant CB survived and grew a little during the day as it drifted very slowly south and was still here just before sunset lit up by the setting sun at 1520 UTCUTC Coordinated Universal Time or UTC is the primary time standard by which the world regulates clocks and time. It is within about 1 second of mean solar time (such as UT1) at 0° longitude (at the IERS Reference Meridian as the currently used prime meridian) and is not adjusted for daylight saving time. It is effectively a successor to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)..
