Yesterday in the UK we said 'so long' to scorching Summer skies, as the equinox marked the official start of Autumn. But fear not! To celebrate (or commiserate) the oncoming chill, I've created a cloudy compilation on @spotify to make those rainy days that little bit sunnier. Smother your ears in some sky-themed songs - from dad rock classics to forgotten 90's gems, all topped off with a plateful of Prince (obvs). Get your head in the clouds and subscribe to the @spotify playlist now.

Back down on terra firma, I’m excited to introduce my latest screenprint from the Typology Series, ‘Every Cloud.’ The exclusive print celebrates the scientific work of Luke Howard, the amateur meteorologist who’s cloud classification published in 1803, brought order to the ever-changing skies. Howard’s work formed the basis of the system used to this day by aviators and meteorologists, to read the sky and forecast the often unpredictable weather.

  Each A2 screenprint comes beautifully handprinted in gloss white ink for just £32.00 (exc. P&P). With a limited edition of just 100 prints, order fast to secure yours. The first 30 orders will also receive a free vinyl sticker so you can always take the weather with you! Click below or visit my online store to grab your copy now.

Name: Cumulonimbus (CL9)

Atmospheric level: Low

Precipitation: Heavy rain and thunderstorms

  Famed for it’s volatile mood swings, the cumulonimbus hangs at just 1,100 ft. above our heads. Although classified as a low-level cloud, this swirling ball of fury can extend through all three atmospheric levels, growing taller than Everest and releasing the energy equivalent to 10 Hiroshima bombs. These storm clouds also have a tendency to form in gangs, clubbing together to form ‘supercells’. Thunder, lightning or tornado? You can guarantee an angry cumulonimbus is on the warpath.

  Ironically, it’s this beast that gave birth to the positive saying ’to be on cloud nine.’ Published in 1896, The International Cloud Atlas listed all the types of cloud, number nine being the cumulonimbus. To be on cloud nine is therefore to be on the tallest of all the clouds. Fact!

Name: Altocumulus Lenticularis (CM4)

Atmospheric level: Medium

Precipitation: None

  Descending to around 10,000 ft. we find the scarcely-seen medium level cloud, altocumulus lenticularis. Playfully referred to as wave clouds or ‘lennies’ by glider pilots, they form when warm, moist air is forced up and over a large obstacle, such as a mountain or hill.

  The Table Cloth cloud shown above hovers over the flat-topped Table Mountain in South Africa. Legend has it that the cloud symbolises a smoking contest between the Devil and a local African pirate called Van Hunks.

Name: Cirrus (CH1)

Atmospheric level: High

Precipitation: None

  Painting the high levels of the troposphere and cruising carelessly between 18,000-40,000 ft, are the wispy cirrus clouds. Due to the sub-zero temperatures at this height, they’re made up entirely of ice crystals. As the crystals fall to Earth, they’re whipped up by 150mph winds, resulting in their recognisable swooshes or ‘fall streaks.’ Luke Howard, who named the cirrus, described them as ‘pencilled on to the sky.’

  When positioned correctly, their hexagonal ice crystals can refract the sunlight to create countless optical phenomena. One of these shown above is the circumzenithal arc - an upside down rainbow smiling down from the skies.

I’m super excited to announce my latest screenprint ‘Every Cloud’, which touches down on Monday 8th September 2014. To celebrate its release, I’ll be introducing my favourite heavyweights of the sky over the next three days. Think of it as a cloudy countdown, drifting through the atmosphere from high to low, exploring the wizardry behind this fluffy family.

Keep you eyes on the skies (or just Tumblr) for forecast updates. A storm’s brewing.
