- Why are these clouds here: differential heating and moisture patches
- W983226Z
- Why are these clouds here? A cluster of puffy clouds dances free over a remote landscape. This group of clouds remained after other low clouds evaporated, then began to convect in transition from Stratocumulus to Cumulus. Why this one area held onto its clouds is a mystery, but it could either be a locally favorable pocket of moister air, or possibly a cool spot where the heating was insufficient to remove clouds earlier. Either way, these clouds in the midst of a clear sky are here for a reason!
