The prediction was that pearlescent clouds would be visible on Christmas Eve, but unfortunately too much and too thick clouds, so no pearlescent clouds.
De voorspelling was dat er parelmoerwolken zichtbaar zouden zijn op Kerst avond, maar helaas iets te veel en te dikke bewolking, dus geen parelmoerwolken.
Thanks for your visit and comments, I appreciate that very much!

During sunset, a cloud flew in in an amazing shape (a bird, a dragon, and maybe an angel ...)
A little understanding of the physics of cloud formation underscores the complexity of the atmosphere and sheds light on why predicting weather for more than a few days is such a challenge.
Six types of clouds you can see and how they can help you understand the weather.
1) Cumulus clouds - On a sunny day, rays warm the earth, which heats the air located directly above it. The heated air rises upward due to convection and forms cumulus clouds. These “good weather” clouds are like cotton wool. If you look at the sky filled with cumulus clouds, you can see that they have a flat bottom, located at the same level for all clouds. At this altitude, air rising from ground level cools down to the dew point. It usually doesn't rain from cumulus clouds, which means the weather will be good.
2) Cumulonimbus clouds.
Small cumulus clouds do not rain, but if they grow and grow in height, it is a sign that heavy rain is coming soon. This often happens in summer when morning cumulus clouds turn into cumulonimbus during the day. Cumulonimbus clouds often have a flat top. Air convection occurs inside such a cloud, and it gradually cools until it reaches the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere. At this moment, it loses its buoyancy and can no longer rise higher. Instead, it spreads out to the sides, forming the characteristic anvil shape.
3) Cirrus clouds form in very high layers of the atmosphere. They are smoky because they are composed entirely of ice crystals falling in the atmosphere. When cirrus clouds are carried by winds moving at different speeds, they take on a characteristic curved shape. And only at very high altitudes or at high latitudes, cirrus clouds give out rain that reaches the ground.
4) Stratus Clouds - A low-lying, continuous cloud sheet that covers the sky. Stratus clouds are formed by slowly rising air or gentle winds that cover the cold land or sea surface with moist air. Stratus clouds are thin, therefore, despite the gloomy picture, it is unlikely to rain from them, a little drizzle at most. Stratus clouds are identical to fog, so if you've ever walked in a mountainous area on a foggy day, you've been inside a cloud.
5) Lenticular clouds. Smooth and lenticular lenticular clouds form when air is blown up and over a mountain range, and as it travels over a mountain, the air descends to its previous level. At this time, it heats up and the cloud evaporates. But it can slip further, as a result of which the air rises again and forms another lenticular cloud. This can result in a chain of clouds extending far beyond the mountain range. The interaction of wind with mountains and other surface features is one of the many details that must be taken into account in computer simulations to obtain accurate weather predictions.
6) Kelvin - Helmholtz like a breaking ocean wave. When air masses at different heights move horizontally at different speeds, their state becomes unstable. The boundary between the air masses begins to ripple and form large waves, such clouds are quite rare.

that's something you can google. sadly, in our town, it applies to great ideas for renovating failed sites which, in the end, fail themselves. we're still waiting for this one to live up to promise. the red paint is a start and we do like the grazing goats. but where are the creemies?
The predictions for a dry winter didn't pan out. We hope this will prevent more forest fires this summer. This peak lies above and outside Ski Santa Fe boundaries. 12,404ft, taken at about 11,700 from across the cirque.

Tides are the rise and fall of sea levels caused by the combined effects of the gravitational forces exerted by the Moon and the Sun, and the rotation of the Earth. Tide tables can be used for any given locale to find the predicted times and amplitude (or "tidal range"). The predictions are influenced by many factors including the alignment of the Sun and Moon, the phase and amplitude of the tide (pattern of tides in the deep ocean), the amphidromic systems of the oceans, and the shape of the coastline and near-shore bathymetry (see Timing). They are however only predictions, the actual time and height of the tide is affected by wind and atmospheric pressure. Many shorelines experience semi-diurnal tides—two nearly equal high and low tides each day. Other locations have a diurnal tide—one high and low tide each day. A "mixed tide"—two uneven magnitude tides a day—is a third regular category. WIKIPEDIA
Thank-you for all the overwhelming support and many friendships.

Prediction of rain will not hurt these beautiful Forget Me Nots so “Let It Rain”. It’s the middle of April so we expect rain most any day. These present such a soft touch to a garden. Thanks for viewing my work. The rains will not effect Gratitude and Kindness. Enjoy your Spring.

Seems like just a few weeks since I set out this Halloween decoration in my side yard. Not visible from the street, it was one of those things I did more for myself. I just liked the way it made me feel to encounter this eerie specter when I walked back by the edge of the forest. More than once it startled me as I had completely forgotten about it. Over time it had weathered to the point where it totally blended in with its surroundings. A very organic look that suits my mentality much more than the highly contrived decorations commonly associated with holidays.
If Halloween marks the onset of the dark phase of the year in the northern hemisphere, Groundhog Day certainly delineates the return of brightening. The actual groundhog 'prediction' is meaningless to me. It's really just a time marker; a waypoint on the journey of life. Day length is increasing noticeably. Springtime is roaring upon us just as rapidly as Halloween is receding. I suppose it's time to take down this celebration of darkness and begin to embrace the light. Then again I might just let it go for another week or two.
I had special permission to go shooting, I knew light would be special, there was many layers of clouds(I could see). Also, the web site prediction was showing RED on us. This is it, I was starting to think I would never see again those special ray of light !!!
A friend of mine, who also happens to be a former colleague, celebrates her birthday today. A few months back, she left her high-paying but highly stressful job (these always go hand-in-hand, don't they?) to focus on family and things that she really wants to do. It's a story I'm so familiar with.
And so today's photo is for her and for the many others who seek new beginnings, better life choices, and more hopefulness in this generally unpredictable world... myself, included.
♥ ... The prediction of our fate torments me ...

I fled to Trondheim because of the weather predictions, and although it was not that bad, I spend two days strolling around in dull grey weather. BTW Trondheim is a nice city with an old center, and very nice places to discover. At the end of a long day (the 7th) I went back to my campsite, a little disappointed, and when I had dinner suddenly the sky opened! I realized I had to go back because the spot in this picture should look great with the sun out. The clouds here are a bonus.
Although I was very eager to see them ASAP, I decided back home in Holland not to speed towards the coast on my first day because weather predictions weren't good for a while. So I took the detour of which you have seen a few shots already. Trondheim fjord is not the classic fjord shot, but this is a rather nice view, and I was lucky the sky opened a little bit before closing again. It's Norway.
Norway, a stunningly beautiful country. Around every corner a chance for a scenic image, forcing me from time to time to stop every kilometer to get out of my car, sometimes with screeching brakes, and sometimes forcing me to curse because there was no place to stop.
Lovely valleys, bare mountains and cold winds, snow packs, glaciers, beautiful lakes, and then there are the enchanting fjords that never stop to amaze. The most beautiful country of Europe, for me no doubt about that, with only one minor aspect, which is the weather. During my month of traveling I only had 4 really nice days, the rest of the time clouds, rain, and very changeable! Still no regret, and I will go back to make even more than the 3500 pictures that I took this time.
Another very active vacation that took me to the south west up to Trondheim in a sort of triangle between Oslo- trondheim and Bergen with the whole route visible here (www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10153668247101759&set...).
I end up taking most of my photos in the morning, and many of those in the early hours just after dawn. I am, much to the eye-rolling of others, a morning person. When I wake up, I am basically 100%. I'm at my best.
I have never needed stimulants to wake up. There's no "don't talk to me before coffee" silliness coming from me. I'm just up and ready to go. It's when I get my best photos and when I do my best writing.
Also, I don't expect others to match this (just like they shouldn't expect me to be up after 9pm). But this is a pretty good reason why I travel alone. And that's okay.

Predictions for this day were snow on the Veluwe...
After a long expedition we arrived at the Veluwe near Doornspijk...
I have a decent camera but it wasn't able to notice the snow...
With fog predictions from the Met office all weekend I decided to head down to the Peak District to capture some late autumnal images. Woodland isn’t really my bag but just lately I’ve been immersing myself in forests and sticking it out. The colours, even now, are still so vibrant in places and the fog yesterday helped with photographing this scene at Padley Gorge.
Let me know your thoughts below, thanks for looking!

With predictions of the "storm of a generation" and a "bombogenesis" snowstorm for much of North America - for us directly, its a flash freeze, up to 100 km winds, and blizzard warnings, I'm mindful of all the people making plans to visit family over the Holidays. Please be careful! We've done more than our share of traveling over the years but this time, I'm grateful to be staying home. To all my Flickr friends, I sincerely hope you have a wonderful and safe Christmas!
There seems to be a lot of berries this autumn, some believe this means that it will be a hard winter - HBW!
I see bright colours after five dull days, So, today is gonna be a lovely day. That's my prediction !. But, I heard people say "You can't predict English weather."
Seattle weather predictions were unfavorable for the annular solar eclipse on the morning of October 14, 2023. Fortunately, the skies, while mostly cloudy, offered rapidly changing views ranging from unobstructed to completely occluded throughout the event. Near peak eclipse, partial from our location, I captured this unfiltered image of the sun peeking through the cloud cover.
Weather predictions for southern Australian states this weekend are for an icy blast with lots of snow in the high country and some helpful rain for farmers who have been in a significant drought. Let's hope what would be fairly normal at times during winter in fact occurs. Skiers and alpine resorts will be happy too.
We had a Snowy fall this morning as well at the back of our place when in the middle of Galah breakfast, a flock of 18 Sulphur Crested Cockatoos arrived with a massive combined screeching and settled all around. Well, with that noise the Galahs all took off and haven't been back. If neighbours were not awake, they soon would have been but except for 1-2 occasionally, we don't feed the Sulphurs although we love them to bits.
Here are a few of them. It was a rush to grab a camera and get this image before they all headed off. For those who see our occasional bird shots, you will know that we call the ones who do get a few seeds Snowy I and Snowy II.
Note the one with its beautiful sulphur or lemon crest raised!
