How many days of tropo was that? From the 02-07-13 to 12-07-13 (minus the 4th) so eight days unbroken tropo and ELEVEN if you include the 4th as I'm sure there was some lesser activity on that date. Even eight days is the longest spell of tropo I can remember. We have been truly spoilt.

The tropo has gone today though. The colder weather we have been experiencing has gone away now and the Lincolnshire coast got up to 26 degrees today, burning away any remaining tropo. I see it continues elswhere so I presume it is shooting over me now.

I wonder if it will lift up again later?
