Ha, could be a cold front swept your area and the cloud indicates a column of warm air pushed up by the sun rays warming the soil. Also there could be a power station somwhere underneath, providing a similar hot stove.
In fact, in my view, global warming is not indicated by generally higher temperatures. Temps go up higher near the equator, sucking cold air from the poles. The two very differently tempered air masses mix and cause thunderstorms, high winds and more rain and flooding.
Our power stations mostly run on cold water, and don't make clouds of steam from cooling towers. But the lakes behind their dams do effect the weather.
Kind of makes you wonder, doesn't it....:-)
ReplyDeleteYes Sir! It sure do!

We can see similar columns above our local power stations.
