It's good if you're bald and don't want a singed head.
It's bad if you're a sun worshipper.

It's good if you like photos of grey jets on grey backgrounds with their own personal cloud.
It's bad if you can't take photos for toffee unless you have a shutter speed of 1/20,000 like me.

It's not rainy but it isn't wall to wall sun. So depends on your viewpoint. Personally I'm just happy to be watching aviation porn. Anyway, it will all probably change by this evening.

Given today's display your we're in for a treat whatever!

I couldn't agree more. BBC weather now says light cloud for Saturday and light showers for Sunday. Yes I keep looking but at the end of the day we get what we get.

Is it not at least light grey? Or is it thick black cloud?

Light grey but thick and completely overcast, having to go to iso320 to maintain 1/1000 or 1/800

that's not too bad, I'd probably have to push ISO 800 on my 700D to get those shutter speeds in that light!

Three times in the last 3 hours Iv'e checked the BBC web for Sunday and each time it has changed,to say the weather is changeable is an understatement ! not that I care too much ( especially as Iv'e taken the decision to leave my camera at home ) for once !
Don't know about those jets ,they spoil a very nice place
