Cloud Appreciation Society Member 1,095, Davo Laninga has made a wonderful time-lapse film capturing the drama and power of the monsoon season over Arizona, US. Filmed over 3 months, 4,500 miles and about 50,000 photos captured between 2 cameras, it was clearly a huge undertaking and we applaud him for it!

This month, as we do every month, we had a live chat with The Weather Channel in the US, to tell them about our Cloud of the Month. For April, it’s Melyssa Wright’s beautiful photograph of mamma clouds over Linton-on-Ouse, North Yorkshire, UK.

We have given the Cloud Appreciation Society website a new layout and design, and are now in testing phase. There will be quite a few bugs, which we will be sorting out over the coming days. We would love to hear in the comments below if you’ve come across anything that seems broken. It will probably take you a little while to get used to where things are now, but we hope the development will be an improvement on the previous design. We hope also that it paves the way for the site to work better on mobile devices.
There is plenty more to do on the Photo Gallery. You can currently filter for cloud types by clicking the menu icon in the top right to reveal the cloud-type filter terms, but the gallery search functionality is still not in place.
Do let us know what you think of the new, cleaner look!

We were pleased to learn that Private Eye, the British satirical magazine, recently published a story to publicise the sorry deterioration of the historic home of Luke Howard. In 1802, this 19th Century pharmacist and lifelong lover of the sky devised the naming system for clouds that we still use today. His legacy for the world of meteorology and far beyond cannot be underestimated.
