		BBC Spotlight Plymouth Sound web cam This is the live view from Staddon Heights at the mouth of Plymouth Sound. The camera is extensively used by the BBC as a backdrop for weather reports and for regional TV news bulletins. This image is updated every five minutes Monday to Friday, during daylight hours, and throughout the afternoon at weekends.
"The camera is controlled remotely from Broadcasting House in Plymouth. At dawn it is pointed east to catch the sunrise, in the evening it is moved to catch the sunset. In between it may be pointing at traffic over the Laira bridge, people enjoying the sun on Plymouth Hoe, or ship movements in Plymouth Sound, especially on Thursdays when Royal Navy ships depart on exercise.

• Meteosat Service Imagery - and select your own animation controls in hourly back-dates (6, 9, 12 or 24 frames) up to the current time in UTC (=GMT)

• "Full disc" gives the view from north to south poles, showing Europe and Africa
  Sector "2" gives the British Isles, North Atlantic Ocean and North Africa - most useful

• The "Channel" allows selection of visible and different infra-red images of cloud cover

• "Colour" looks more impressive but loses some of the detail that can be seen in B & W over the land

• The other options depend on what and how long a time frame you want to see up to the present

• The time (UTC) is essentially the same as GMT
  BST = GMT/UTC + 1 hour

• UTC - Coordinated Universal Time 

• Time, zones and offsets
