  1. The cutest little #virga #clouds that resemble a jelly fish floating up high - the trail is moisture falling that hasn't hit the ground - if it hit the ground it's then called #rain #sky #photography #observations

  2. #Virga is rain that doesn’t reach the ground. It’s a thing here in the US mountain west. Very cool and photogenic and strikingly dramatic to see in the distance, especially depending on where the sun is when you see it. I just stepped out of my house and a bit of virga exceeded expectations and reached the ground around me. So, just rain, but no clouds overhead, sun casting solstice 7 o’clock shadows. Lasted maybe a minute, pavement dry 3 minutes later.

    #Verga is something else.😱🤣

  3. Some of the longest virga formations I've ever seen this afternoon.

    This is an essentially 180 degree stitch:

  4. Fantastic #clouds over #Dorset this evening.

    1. #Altocumulus floccus

  5. Tuo eilinen auringonlasku oli erityisen jännä siinä mielessä, että aurinko pääsi valaisemaan pilvien alapintoja varsin ahtaasta raosta. Tilanne oli siis punaisuudestaan huolimatta aikas hämärä. Lisäksi pilvet oli tuolloin kohtuullisen korkealla, joten ne saivat valoa sopivan kauan vielä auringonlaskun jälkeen. Sitten vielä pilvistä tippuva jääkide virga (sade joka ei yllä maahan asti) toi oman utuisen elementtinsä kokonaisuuteen. Tässä vielä laajempi kuva yhdestä kohtaa. Virgaa oli todella paljon.

  6. Happy #Thursday from the #Northland!

    The final day of #August will be #warm for this time of the year. An increase in #dewpoints and a southerly #breeze is keeping it feeling like #summer.

    Keep an eye to the sky as a broken line of light #showers is passing through along a #front. Some are reaching the ground (#virga) so don't expect much #rain through tonight.

  7. Very interesting and unstable medium level #altocumulus over #Dorset this evening as showers and #thunderstorms build over the English Channel. I also spotted #virga and #mamma embedded within this.

  8. Forgot to mention earlier that there is a bit of #rain in the #Northland this afternoon with a weak disturbance passing through.

    Not all of it is reaching the ground (#virga), but locations north of Highway 2 could see the light #showers through this evening.

    Better rain chances do come Monday.

  9. If you’re hoping for rain, don’t get your hopes up too much as barely any of this is reaching the ground. #virga

  10. The clouds are trying to bring us rain but it's so hot and dry, none of it is making it to the ground. #NewMexico #virga

  11. A beautiful 13th day for us here in #iowa farmland. #cumulonimbus clouds perked up the afternoon. As the dew points are still in the 50s, we only saw #virga here. #today

  12. A "smack" of sky jellyfish in the California sky. We would have also accepted a "swarm" or "bloom" of sky jellyfish. 🪼🪼🪼🪼🪼

  14. A #virga, or dry storm (rain shafts that evaporate before reaching the ground).
