Weather lore, the informal folklore related to the prediction of the
weather, suggests that the
cumulus humilis clouds in this
sky indicate a good day ahead. Such clouds show there is very little
convection in the lower
atmosphere, and the fact that it is well-formed indicates light
winds at low levels. There is no
cloud aloft, and thus no
moisture or stable conditions or both.
The cumulus congestus on the horizon suggests showers may be possible three or four hours from now, at the earliest, but chances are good it will remain a pleasant day through until the evening.Photo credit: Denni Windrim
