Weather Satellite Pictures Keeping Getting Better

Another day of good weather and another day of very good APT weather satellite pictures.

The following is from the 13:05 UTC pass of NOAA 19, again with most of the UK cloud free.


It is a cropped image, however the overall duration of  the pass was again excellent and shows what can be done with a simple loft antenna.

The cloud cover coming off the North Sea onto to east coast is quite a common occurrence. It is interesting to compare what the weather is like at ground level against the satellite picture. There are many really good webcams that enable this to be done very easily. A good set of webcams on the coast of Norfolk are on the Happisburgh Lighthouse. See the following link: http://www.happisburgh.org/webcam

The whole Happisburgh site is worth a read and the village is well worth a visit. Check for the days when the Lighthouse and the Church Tower are open. Views from the top are excellent.
