An image that's been doing the round on both weather and conspiracy forums made it into the national papers - bizarre 'Independence Day' cloud spotted over Moscow - or, in meteorological parlance, a nice example of a fallstreak hole, occuring in a general blanket of what looks like altocumulus, and spectacularly lit by the sun.

Forget the summer washouts, barbecue autumn has arrived - but although it's a splendid day here in Evesham today, I think for much of the week there may well be a fair bit of cloud around - especially over more northern and eastern parts - as some weak fronts slide down through the high pressure cell. Looking nice for the start of this coming weekend up in Scotland though - which is good because that's where I'm heading on Friday!
