Long time lurker here,
Usually to be found at home in Pensford north Somerset but had to get away from the endless grey sky's,
Lucky enough to fly down to the Caribbean on Monday and was gobsmacked to find total cloud cover from Anglesey until well southwest of the Bahamas!!!! Thats 3500 plus nautical miles without even a tiny break in the clouds,and i was looking!! is that unusual?? The last five hundred miles before the cloud broke, they were solid to 40000' that seems like one hell of a cauldron of convection.
Hopefully the monotony will break soon but im not holding my breath....
