The Dairy Game - What the skies tell us. Pt 2 : Sky Meteorology / 14th April 2026
The sky is full of wonders that's why I look at it every time I step outside and I admire all that. There's so much information to be gotten from just one glance at it. Yesterday, I showed you the night sky, and what appeared to be Venus. I'm still a bit confused because after doing further research, there's a chance I was looking at either Venus or Jupiter. Perhaps it was a mere thick star who knows.
For today I took three shots of a particular part of the sky which is was interesting. I'll tell you what the sky was saying.
If you can focus on the top, you'll see clouds made of tiny ice crystals called cirrocumulus. There are so many details in the clouds that most people will easily miss. Just below is a thick layer of clouds which is made of water vapor called stratocumulus. The soft clouds may not look like they carry a lot of weight, but they usually hold a lot of water.
The clouds pull in light as they cover the sky. A lot of small particles can be caught in the air and create a thick plane of dust and water vapor and looking at it, the clouds looked very tired.
The sky is not just some space to only transport clouds, it illustrates the changes that take place in our atmosphere and the weather.
You could easily dismiss the look of the sky on a cloudy day. It takes detail, understanding of what the sky represents and appreciation for the magical process, to see what the sky is trying so hard to tell you. You can pay attention to the precious details because the sky is always changing as you already know.
