Herne Bay and Reculver. Fair weather with good sunny periods but a strong cold wind. Some towering cumulus out at sea but lots of smaller cumulus and stratocumulus as well.

Monday 11 May 20 – Cumulus and Cumulonimbus
Herne Bay and Reculver. Cold, near gale force wind with good sunny spells but some showers too. Featured image shows cumulus with blue sky to the left but the onset of a shower to the right. Note the reduction of visibility under the shower and the loss of a hard horizon. I have no image of the vertical extent of the cloud but there are strong gusts and showers, so … cumulonimbus. In between the showers are smaller cumulus clouds, but always in a cold blast.
This bitter north easterly across the North Sea has reset the seasons back to winter after some summer like days last week.
The satellite image for the same time shows a classic pattern of deep convection with separate convective cells dappled in the flow.
