Noctilucent clouds are some of the rarest form of clouds. The name means “night-shining”.

They tend to appear on clear summer nights before the light disappears which is when the brightest stars are visible.

They develop in the mesosphere and are made up of particles from tiny meteors, volcanic dust and pollution and water vapour which comes through gaps in the tropopause.

These clouds can only be seen between 45*N and 80*N in the northern hemisphere (it is the equivalent in the southern hemisphere but there is so little landmass and populous that it’s rarely seen). They sit at 200,000 feet.

Mackerel sky

"Mackerel sky and mares' tails make tall ships carry low sails"

So goes the old sailor's proverb. Should you see these clouds, expect a swift breeze before the day is out – these clouds form high in the sky and indicate changing weather patterns, such as an approaching storm. 

Mackerel scales is the name given to high level cirrocumulus clouds that are often arranged as ripples in the sky and have the appearance of the scaly skin of a fish. These high level clouds are mainly composed of ice crystals. The frequent glimpses of blue among these clouds tell us the clouds are unstable and breaking up.

The hole is known as a fallstreak hole.

A fallstreak hole (also known as a holepunch cloud) forms when part of the cloud layer forms ice crystals which are large enough to fall as a 'fallstreak'.

Clouds weigh billions of pounds.

Clouds look like they weigh little more than a tuft of cotton, but they’re heavier than they look. Your average cumulus (fair weather cloud) can weigh more than a million pounds, and a vivacious thunderstorm can pack billions (if not trillions) of pounds of water in one tiny part of the sky. Yet, all of that weight seems effortlessly suspended in the air.
