Contrails and clouds

Fairly strong easterly and north easterly winds for several days from a high pressure sitting in the right place seem to be clearing the air.

Yesterday and today (earlier before we had other clouds) the sky was so blue that I took a picture.
We live under what is usually a major corridor for air travel, in the evenings an average of about 8 planes can be seen at once and sometimes up to 15.
There hadn't been any for a while before this picture was taken.
My cows are still belching at the same rate that they usually do though.

Plenty of times planes can go by without leaving a trail. Depends on temperature and humidity

Just looked at flightradar, a shadow of its normal self!
good
One factor would be the noticable efficiency in movements. The volume is now so small that nearly every flight gets strait in, no stacks,no go-arounds and simpler routes out, strait to the destination heading.Many of the flights out of Heathrow going to 'cheaper' parking elsewhere, Hurn for example.

Will the lack of contrails bring a heat wave ?
Remember the affect of 9/11 when planes stopped for just 3 days.

Perhaps just looking to see who has drilled their wheat!

There have been warnings about this, the aerosols in contrails being important, allegedly, in deflecting sunlight and keeping the planet cool.
Aerial survey, probably for the Environment Agency or Ordnance Survey.

First one for must be a week
Did you have the gun handy ?First one for must be a week
Totally agree with this, although sometimes they don’t seem to have an effect, other times I’ve seen a lovely clear morning clouded over with clouds definitely seeming to grow out of the contrails, really annoying. If you watch the trails, they just seem to grow and grow and join up into a general haze, with no natural looking clouds about, spoiling a clear day, which isn’t a common thing in these parts.
We’ve only really had a couple of clear days since the planes stopped, and to me at least the sky has been as clear as I’ve seen it.

It will be like a Scamble scene from The Battle of Britain as the pilots rush to the lines of planes and fly out one after another

Yes, contrails can become clouds though meteorologists refuse to accept this.
