Mostly Straight for sure Keelin. Nice curly cirrus too! Next one isn’t straightforward.
Meandering And Not Even Narrow All The WayI don’t hope you mean the Great Red Spot Of Jupiter, Michael? Over here no excessive red saturation to be seen.
Some Cool Blues
Ah, this seems to be the cloud that looked up in amazement in the former pic now having its own cap of pileus.
Michael, it is crystal clear that the circumstances of warmth and humidity are exhausting. It is exactly like you explain no matter the numbers. Anyway it turns out to be ideal for pileus. I will be watching out for it on growing congestus for sure.
And now I remember a topic I created with the phases of pileus. This pileus showed up not on top of a majestic congestus, but just a mediocre single growing cumulus passing by my house.
It was one of the rare moments I had a good view on it. Love to quote what you wrote in respons: “clouds luv to audition“. And now I add to the list of quotes from you “Versace can’t touch that stuff“. Both quotes being so true. I look forward for more clouds that auditioned for you and I will watch carefully for the ones that will audition over here.
Michael, I remember you once said “everything for art”? But aren’t you mistaking about the humidity at 35%. That seems to be low and I expect it to be much higher, since the yearly averaged relative humidity for the Netherlands is already some 88%. Maybe a different kind of unity?
Anyway …… a fantastic shot Michael. The cloud in front seems to be looking in amazement at the Pileus on top. It must be a coincidence that I just noticed in the Color Thread that you seem to have a lot of great Pileus pics – also a very beautiful recent one on the gallery -when you started this topic. Now you explained.
Since you ask for more shots I dug in my archive and found out that I don’t have many Pileus. Just a few from a series of 4 years ago. I look forward for more from others and you.
Yes I had Michael. Particularly the day that started with asperitas and gradually became lenticular with exploding Holmboe and all kinds of strange lenticular-like shapes like a Chicken Abductee or a Talking Sorting Hat. It took from 9:00 until 11:15. On the gallery I posted two pics of the same scenery taken with an hour in between on which you can see the two different phases.
Asperitas Phase
Kelin, When The Heart Is Blue It Can Be Bumpy Ride is a true beauty (and the title as well!). I love the wavy pattern and the soft whites and …. all of it.
Michael, you seem to have a great collection of beautiful pileus. Your recent one on the gallery is fantastic, so is Arizona Cloudscape #84.
The Great Red Spot Of Jupiter?You really pick out the most wonderful ones from the APOD’s Laurence. How wonderful!
I once saw a number of distinct supernumeraries (but less than 5 I suppose) when tiny drizzles of rain started to fall with the sun behind. The raindrops must be very small to make them appear so the circumstances were right. Wish I had something with me to capture it, but I had not even a phone with me. I just keep this memory alive.
Thanks for sharing.
Another French asperitas, showing undulatus between the larger asperitas waves. The appearence of these undulating smaller parts in between the larger lines struck me. Ever seen that way?
Squared Undulatus
You both are rocking and rolling!
I can see the different wind directions on Arizona that influenced the appearance of your Richard III cloud Michael. So difficult to figure out what’s happening there. The only clue you have is that the winds and temperatures are invisible for our eyes and only the clouds can betray there doings. The needle keeps intriguing.
And Keelin, you captured a nice thin roll cloud. I haven’t seen much of those.
Just to keep in line…..
Horizontals
