Flying between rainy clouds looks cinematic, but do you actually know what’s happening in the atmosphere when you see this? When you’re slipping through layers of grey like this, you’re most likely flying near or within a nimbostratus system and there are a few key clues: • Low visibility and steady precipitation = warm front likely passed • No towering build-ups = not cumulonimbus, so less vertical instability • Smooth air but constant drizzle = stratiform cloud behaviour But here’s where most

Good morning, everyone! What an incredible capture of Cumulonimbus Incus recently observed near Santa Rosa, Argentina! This stunning video, recorded from an aeroplane, showcases the magnificence of these clouds, which typically reach altitudes of around 10,500 meters (34,000 feet) but can soar as high as 18,000 meters (59,000 feet), especially near the equator. The height of Cumulonimbus Incus is largely influenced by the altitude of the tropopause—the boundary that separates the troposphere fro
