It’s been a rainy day like any other we’ve had recently. A storm came through in the early evening and left Brooklyn a little cooler but a little more humid. The sun is setting now.
I’ve never seen anything like that. Here’s hoping a meteorologist specializing in cloud formation stops by.
Update: A friend writes that these are called “Mammatus clouds”. From Wikipedia:
…the mammatus cloud is generally poorly understood. Detailed observations of the cloud have been meager and usually occur only by chance, since mammatus do not pose a meteorological threat to society. However, scientists’ lack of understanding of the phenomenon exhibits that there are microphysical cloud processes that remain to be researched.
