A lovely clear and sunny day with just a light NE drift until about 1500 when the airport and surrounding area was invaded by whats best described as 'Scooby Doo' type fog! It must have been very annoying for the aircraft holding overhead in clear blue sky when the airport was reporting visibility down to 175mts at one point. At least one Jet2 diverted.

Its still foggy now but very patchy, with the moon visible from time to time.

Early morning fog, but with a clear sky and sunshine visible above it, clearing from the hills by 0830 g.m.t and from the valleys a couple of hours later. The day was dry and mainly sunny but with slowly increasing high and medium level cloud to the south and south east during the afternoon. Thick fog returned soon after sunset and light rain has arrived in the last half hour or so.
