It's raining today. It's expected to stop in the afternoon.
At 13:34 on the 18th of last week, it was officially announced that Skyleigh had reached 634m. Our blog reported that it had reached 634m, judging from a photo we took at 13:10. This was taken earlier than the announcement, so it may be incorrect. The Gain Tower is still in the clouds so we cannot confirm it, but we will check whether the photo was taken before it had fully risen.

Rain clouds are covering the tree. The clouds are about 500m high. But the climbing crane is moving.
The operator is in the cab hidden in the clouds and cannot be seen, but the crane wires are moving. Since it is not visible, he must be watching the camera footage on a monitor and communicating with workers on the ground via radio.
