Nice pics as always thanks for sharing nigel

Looks like Mammatus to me as well if they are Mammatus these are formed when a localized downdraught carries cold air down into a warmer layer, causing it to cool to its dewpoint and produce cloud droplets. This process has been termed `upside down convection` drawing a parallel with the commonly seen process where a thermal carries warm air upwards and gives no cloud The Mamma seen beneath many types of cloud are relately small and not praticularly pronounced, but beneath cumulonimbus clouds they may assume various forms and are sometimes extremely striking,. nigel

Took this picture whilst doing my deliveries last year, in a place called Stannington Which is just outside Morpeth, I saw this cloud approaching and thought there might be a storm developing, Styed with it for about 10 minuites then i had to carry on doing my deliveries due to time , nigel

Low cloud this morning, temperature reading 6.0c with the pressure now reading 1017.6hpa {falling] Hopefully this low cloud should burn away

Evening Bottesford im currently looking at the Custom Skew charts supplied by NW Xtra and if im right it looks like more of the saame for my region tomorrow afternoon According to the Skew charts the Dew point starts to rise on the 1500z then on the 18z the dew point rises further, This starts to rise at around 950mb then starts to fall again around 900mb Also there is a temperature inversion from 950mb rising to 800mb , so if my theory is correct , the Fog could start to move in between 1500 and 1800hrs Looking at the skew chart might be better than my explanation nigel
