Subscriptions for Existing Members

Members of the Cloud Appreciation Society have been telling us they want to hear more from the Society – more about the science and culture of the sky and more about how to identify the different cloud formations. And that is why we have launched our Cloud-a-Day email service.

Here you can find out about subscribing to a Cloud a Day, and the benefits that come with it. We also have information on how you can help the Society grow and develop by becoming a Supporting Member.

All our original members, whether or not they choose to take up a subscription, continue to have full access to the website and to receive our Somewhat Occasional Cloud Newsletters.

Our Cloud-A-Day Service

We’ve always said that spending a moment each day with your head in the clouds will have a profound effect on your wellbeing. That is why we started our Cloud a Day email. Each day, you’ll receive a cloud in your inbox. Sometimes it’s a photograph of an amazing formation by one of our members. Sometimes, a tiny piece of cloud science. We might send an inspiring sky quotation or a detail from a classic piece of cloud art. Each day it’s different and takes no longer than 30 seconds to read. And our Cloud-a-Day email is never, ever about selling stuff.

Monday's cloud

Tuesday's cloud

Wednesday's cloud

Thursday’s cloud, and on they float...

Become a Supporting Member

As a Supporting Member of the Cloud Appreciation Society you will be helping our community grow and spread an appreciation of the sky around the world. We are planning, for instance, to enable translations within the website, which will open up the Society to many more cultures. The sky is the most unifying and universal parts of Nature and strongly we believe that an appreciation of it can bring people together.

By becoming a Supporting Member, you will also be helping us to expand our participation in schools and adult education.

In addition to everything other members receive, our Supporting Members also have free access to all the cloudspotting video courses that we are currently developing, as well as free entry to any streaming services that we are able to set up for Society conferences and 15% off everything on our Cloud Shop.

Your membership helps keep the world’s largest ‘river in the sky’ flowing

5% of our membership fees go to support the Amazon Conservation Association’s work to train locals in the Amazon regions of Peru and Bolivia to monitor and report illegal deforestation. 90% of the water evaporating into the atmosphere over land comes from trees. Clouds formed from the water released by the trees of the Amazon region create an enormous ‘river in the sky’ through which flows more water than the river system itself and which deposits essential rain over huge areas of the South American continent.
