It was just an accident that I happened to glance out the balcony doorway and noticed this, because all day, the clouds were right down on the hilltops, and it was very nasty outside. So this was a surprise. Just goes to show, we never can tell.
I've noticed here that quite often we will have a dull overcast day and then it will almost magically clear up just before sundown. I'd like someone to explain that to me sometime.
Since I´m also interested in meteorology (brewing my own weather in Germany) I have the following explanation handy.
Maybe the air which is coming out of a general direction during the day, which in your area might be westerly winds, is forced to run uphill, thus building up clouds and mist in the hills, if not a few raindrops as well. Later in the day, the sun´s energy which is responsible for all our winds wanes and the winds slow down and eventually die out completely, thus dissolving the clouds, and giving some last sun rays to my Canadian friend Ray.
I don´t say that I´m right, but I do insist: zis koud bee en egsplanashen.
Have a good week, and enjoy our modern useful technology!
Victoria, the provincial capital, is west of us, and during the day, the typical government bullshit slowly builds up heat during spontaneous combustion processes. This heat reaches a critical stage just about suppertime, causing updrafts which dissipate the clouds on our western horizon, thus allowing the setting sun to peek through....
Beautiful picture, I saved it to my wallpaper folder

How's that for meteorology ???
Hey that's meteoro-logic! Haha!
ReplyDeletePlease enjoy your week, and don't do anything I wouldn't do.
