I know a little about clouds. Especially in predicting weather. Here's some of what I know.
- If you see clouds moving in different directions it usually means a storm is coming.
- If you see tall, thick, low-lying clouds (don't know the name of them) in the early hours or mid-afternoon it's a good chance there will be a storm following it.
- You know those high-altitude clouds that are long and thin with holes all in them (again, not sure of the name)? Well if you see several of them overlapping each other it's not good and bad weather is coming.
- Again, not sure of the name of them but if you see those real high, thin, streaming clouds in the sky that mean there's a good chance of bad weather in the next day or two.
- Animals are also a good indication of upcoming weather. If you see birds flying high that's a good thing and means clear weather. If a storm was closing in they usually would fly lower.
OK, that last one had nothing to do with clouds but it's a good fact and knowledge.
