Mushroom Cloud


Spotted over the Strait of Dover this evening after general cloud and rain cleared away. It's coming up to that time of the year where the sea surface is warmer than the land, so cumulus can feed on the heat from the sea instead of inland whenever the air aloft is cold enough.
Also, land loses heat at night time while sea retains it (like a giant storage heater) so these sea-based showers could keep going through the night if it needs be.
