Paramotor pilot, Brian Tunnard, filmed this video whilst flying on 20th January 2015. He says on his YouTube page “The viz was a bit hazy … and it’s a LOT cooller than it looks …but it was a VERY enjoyable flight nonetheless. I encountered a suprisingly strong headwind on the first leg of the flight, which needed speedbar to penetrate .. my speed with bar, shot up to a stately 18-20mph.

It’s Brass Monkey ‘FROSTY’ up here, but as I turn West, the clouds are painted orange by the setting sun … and all is well with world … for a moment …”

This video, taken by James Bitz, shows asperitas clouds which preceded a storm cell on July 7th, 2014 over Lincoln Nebraska

We were recently contacted by Ninja Tune as one of their artists – FaltyDL – has a new EP coming out, “Frontin (Brrd Remix)” and has used clouds for the inspiration of his video.

Thank you to Robert Blair who found this video made by the host of PBS Digital’s “It’s Okay To Be Smart”, Joe Hanson, who explains everything from cloud names, to condensation, to where the term “cloud nine” comes from. He also mentions the Cloud Appreciation Society…

Brecht Iliaens recently sent this short timelapse of cloud formations over Duffel, Belgium.

“Flying in the clouds is just such a nice and relaxing sensation hard to describe……you forget whats down on the ground and just enjoy pure freedom of nature”.

This is what Adrian Andler sees and feels when he is flying in the clouds and he was kind enough to share it. He has also included the audio of Cloud Appreciation Society founder, Gavin Pretor-Pinney, reading an excerpt from our cloud manifesto.

This is a time lapse that was taken at Hopkinsville, Ky by Art Griffey. The conditions were perfect to see these clouds.

Jonathan Herreman has produced this great real-time capture of an “arcus” formation. It shows how the arcus, also known as a ‘shelf cloud’, is a feature that extends out at the base of a Cumulonimbus storm cloud in front of the direction of the storm’s movement.

Thanks to Society member Jelte Vredenbregt for drawing our attention to this fantastic time lapse of Asperatus Clouds taken in Lincoln NE, on July 7 2014 by storm-chaser Alex Schueth and posted on the IFL Science website.

Here is another time lapse video from cloud enthusiast Art Griffey. This one shows a side view of a roll cloud passing over Hopkinsville, KY, USA.

Cloud Appreciation Society Member, Matheus Manente, produced this time lapse video of a Cumulonimbus over São Bernardo, Brazil last year.

Bill Ward has sent us this video showing lightning recorded during a “Spanish Plume” thunderstorm.
This mass of warm moist air moved over the UK on the 19/5/14 and produced some dramatic flashes.
This selection is from the most active part of the storm in the early evening.

Over the summer Bill Ward is a regular noctilucent cloud watcher. He recently recorded these lovely Lee Clouds in silhouette against the summer twilight sky.

Cloud Appreciation Society member, Eric Balestra, recently sent us this video of thunder and lightening behind clouds… very dramatic!

Martin Garnett recently sent us this video. Gavin Pretor-Pinney has advised that the lenticularis formation is embedded within a stratocumulus layer and so is more or less visible at different stages of the video. He also mentioned that it is possible that there are some moments of “asperatus” formations visible.
