I know that as ‘Red sky at night shepherd’s delight, red sky in the morning shepherd’s warning’.
P.S. Still have that ‘you must be logged in to reply’ for some (recent) threads when I can happily reply to other (older) topics. GP-P is working on it but puzzled. I cleared out my cache at his suggestion (Control/Shift/Delete) but to no effect.
Welcome, Edisson. It is great to hear from South America and from someone who appreciates the International Cloud Atlas.
Testing, testing. Hygge is back on air having been without a router (and poorly advised thereafter). Have now been given a router by my ISP – I have a golden air about me with no red spots.
Now need to get up to speed again.
Ooh err – my return to the forum and it promptly loses my post about a red arc that same night in Finland. Try again

GWW (Granny Weather Witch) would have enjoyed some of these.
Other sources are available…
Hans, I have a big book Weather (from the Weather Guide Calendar). It has at the back tables of monthly US Climatic Data. For August in Phoenix, AZ it gives among other details
* average max temperature 102.3F, record max 116F
* relative humidity 23
Tis the season:

I feel sure we have seen Kingston on the Forum before. And I had not realised I may have trod the same path as Keats near Winchester, Hampshire, UK.

I am struck by the similarity of the inside of cavum to actinoform clouds.
Harvest Moon
The Times, UK, published a great photo in the news on p10, 26SEP2018, of the harvest moon rising behind Portland Breakwater Fort in Dorset, UK. But for once they omitted to credit the photographer and I can not find it. I did find a website with pictures from around the world but it was a bit cluttered with adverts.
It’s noticeable that photographers know how to catch the moon behind church steeples etc. Can anyone offer some pictures?
My equinoctial clouds were longer lingering trails and wispful, as if to say to summer ‘Anything you can do….’.
Why then oh why can’t I? You can!

Thanks for your thoughts, Michael.
I think this unique CAS picture confirms for Jan that her cavum is indeed cavum
Unique since page 9, the Introduction in Richard Hamblyn’s book Extraordinary Clouds, Met Office, David and Charles, 2009, says ‘Take the image on page 73 for example, which shows the unusual sight of a fallstreak hole illuminated by the prismatic brightness of a circumzenithal arc. It was taken by the Cambridge-based photographer John Deed who came across the sight by chance while taking his son to football practice one cold September morning: “While he was warming up to play I went for a short walk. When I looked up above me there was this large tongue-shaped hole in the cloud. This was interesting in itself but then I realized that there was a rainbow at one end or, as I now know, a CZA. And as I looked closer there was a second one further down, although it does not show up on the picture very well.” A few days later, this rare – possibly unique – capture of a fallstreak hole with a double CZA is donated to the CAS’s photo-archive, and something entirely new was added to the global repertoire of clouds.’
That’s a good hypothesis, Michael, and a good picture to boot – it would solve the ‘middle of the hole’ confusion.
However, Jan’s picture I would guess (since it is not far from my stamping ground) is looking east with Hampshire to the left and out of view to the right the Isle of Wight. That is not an area with many jetliners, though there could be turboprop airliners heading west towards nearby Bournemouth International Airport. Also Southampton Airport is close, slightly inland. Jetliners passing over tend to be higher with no regular route.
Hi, Jan, from a Hampshire (UK) hog. As you say, likely a fallstreak hole or cavum in new speak.

I guess your confusion might be
a) the two features below and either side of the hole
b) the infill to the hole which is not typical virga
Me too. Great picture.
