Clouds never stay still. They’re in a state of perpetual transition, mutating from one form to another. This ephemeral, ever-changing quality is part of their beauty. If you have time-lapse video of clouds for this page, upload it to a video hosting site like Vimeo or YouTube and send us a link.

Noctilucent clouds are extremely high ice-crystal clouds that form up in the mesosphere, at altitudes of around 50 miles / 80 km. Their Latin name roughly translates as ‘night shining’. This is because these ghostly rippling clouds only become visible when the Sun is below the horizon for the observer, so that the sky is dark by the sunlight still catches their gossamer forms. Most commonly viewed between 50° and 70° north and south of the equator, noctilucent clouds are made of ice crystals and can only be observed in either hemispheres during the summer months, which is when the mesosphere is at its coldest. ForNorthern-Hemisphere cloudspotters, therefore, the noctilucent cloud has just begun. Keep an eye out towards the northern horizon in the few hours before sunrise and after sunset for the best chance of spotting these mysterious and ghostly formations. Here is a taster video beautifully filmed over Denmark by Adrien Mauduit of what noctilucent cloud spotters at high enough latitudes might be lucky enough to observe.

Society Member, Mike Rubin (no. 329) says about this gliding video –
“After having fun in a Lasham Gliding Society Discus near a shower cloud in the Newbury area I took a cloud climb 4km East of the town of Kingsclere. Cloudbase was about FL45 (4500 feet). I topped out at the airspace ceiling of FL65 (6500 feet) after climbing at about 6kts most of the way. Then after a long period inside a large cloud I emerged somewhere closer to Basingstoke, where I couldn’t resist a new video clip. Alas I forgot to turn off macro mode on my camera. Despite that, apart from one section of malfocussed video (which I edited out) it didn”t come out too badly. Phew! Easily my best cloud eye candy of the year so far in the UK. The town visible in the clip is Basingstoke, as I am headed back towards Lasham. I was still close to the 4-4500 foot cloudbase when I approach Lasham well after the video ends”.
