#cumulus fractus

[cleverreports]

We report: after hours of watching clouds rise very high, and then promptly dissolve upon reaching a certain threshold, we found one promising specimen. This is a slow bloom, with a solid stem. The sky is beginning to darken around it. We can almost feel the rain already.

Found this insane cloud!

Wow! That is a monster of a cloud!

Cumulonimbus calvus with pileus and cumulus fractus clouds. Also present is some haze, hence why the cloud is so blue toned.

Good spotting!

Eco Virtual - Cumulus Fractus

[cleverreports]

We report: something has gotten in the air - smoke, sand, humidity, the whole lot - and it has captured the sun some hours before dusk. A veil is drawn across the sky. There is a bit of a chill there, or at least, what counts as one these days, a little shiver in the half-light.

We report: it is drizzling intermittently, as though we are walking into clouds, and besides that, it is a very bright day. When we look into the distance, we see each field light up one after the other. We hear the rain, the wind, and the birds, and we feel we are here and now.

[cleverreports]

We report: a little bit of the sun remains in the clouds as night falls. Something in the air has shifted in the afternoon, and the wind is not as warm anymore. Our expert has been tracking the advance of a cold front over the ocean; perhaps it is heading our way.

We report: before this kind of rain, we witness the half-hour long ritual taking place in the sky. The larger clouds start gathering, and we see rain blurring out the farthest reaches of the horizon. Then, minutes before the flood, those dark, torn up pieces of clouds spread out.
