Tropical Skyscapes

22 Comments

The skies here change quickly: brilliant sun, quick sunsets and sudden showers that arrive and leave in a few minutes. As a result, the sky has constant and beautiful cloud formations.

Dissipating cumulonimbus clouds.
These were tending toward a towering, pillar-like appearance – a sign of convective activity – but they changed their minds.
Clearing …
… and underlit by the setting sun.

Happy Tuesday.

  2. New Englanders claim that our weather is quite changeable “If you don’t like the weather, wait a minute” but that’s an exaggeration. No exaggeration in the tropics. The first shot holds very impressive cumulonimbi. 🙂

    1. I’ve heard that saying in some places in Canada too, but agreed, here it’s no exaggeration. There were a lot of cumulonimbus clouds forming and dissipating over the entire day and at one point I thought, yup, lightening is on its way, but then the clouds dissolved.

    1. I have enjoyed that ever since I was a small child. And yes, definitely a pleasant change! At this time a year ago, I was in NWT shovelling a snow tunnel in my driveway. 🥶
