'Sun Kissed' Cirrocumulus Clouds - Betws yn Rhos, North Wales - 5.3.2022
Noticed this interesting cloud formation from the front of my home at 17.40pm as the sun disappeared below the adjacent hillside looking due West towards the village of Trofarth - but hadn't quite set with it's rays still illuminating the much lower Cumulus Clouds' edges.
Cirrocumulus Clouds are an amalgamation of the cloud types Cirrus and Cumulus and are some of the ones farthest away from the Earth's surface. They usually occur at an altitude of 5 to 12km. Their appearance is an indication of fair weather as they form a layer of tufts in the sky.
That has certainly been the case in the last three days with a 'High Pressure Ridge' firmly established over the UK.
It makes a pleasant change to at last see the sun too!
