  1. Beautiful satellite image from Sunday 27th March 2022. Clear skies ☀️ for many after a week of fine, settled weather and high pressure. Drift now more off cool North Sea rather than drier continent, giving low cloud inland England. It was a much cooler day under that cloud. Fire on Western Isles (Anthrax) Gruinard Island with smoke showing in west breeze, Cairngorm snow just holding on over the tops. Haar or seafret clinging to east coast, it was further inland to start the day with very poor visibility. Bit of lift over the Southern Uplands allowing  Cumulus to develop, you can see the dark shadows (which snow doesn't have).

    Easterly breeze reaching across Wales and setting off undulations, the ripples in the cloud, and brighter skies.

    the unnatural looking straight lines in the North Sea could be boat trails through the low cloud sitting just over the surface, or contrails. This is a visible satellite pic, an InfraRed one would pick up temperatures of clouds so Contrails (being higher, colder cloud) would stand out, but not the seafog.

  2. A look at cloud identification, shapes - lumpy, wispy, or layer, and height. Naming and phenomenon, such as haloes.  And those that look like jellyfish or ghosts.

    An identification guide for cloud types, more understanding and knowledge for your Instagram photos with an extra hashtag or maybe just to enable the joy of Cloud Spotting.
