On
the evening of 3rd November, Bonfires and fireworks celebrate the
thwarting of 'The Gunpowder Plot'. The actual date should be the 5th
but we have got more flexible with time.
This
is a NOAA 17 pass at approximately 9.00 pm. The channel 3 IR image
shows 'hot spots' as black. The hot spots of Newport, South Wales,
Scunthorpe and probably those close to the mouth of the Rhine are Steel
works. The rest must be related to bonfires. Similar was seen last year
(in clearer skies) and again in spring when the eastern Netherlands
celebrated with bonfires.
