Clouds come and go

'Varied' is the word I would use to describe the clouds over Cape Town today. Unable to match the weather forecast with the conditions outside my window, I went for a conservative generalisation. Wind light, rain a little, temperature mild. And that just about covered it. We have had westerly and easterly winds (light), rain (drizzle, thundershower-type individual drops) and rather warm to cool air. Two overlapping pressure systems resulted in a change of cloud cover every hour or so and sometimes within minutes. The weather vane on the neighbour's roof was just swinging from side to side at times, in total despair at the lack of decision. This is typical of the changing season and is being experienced in the UK at the moment - our skies are looking pretty much the same!
Here is a selection of sky views taken within an hour. My album of cloud photos is almost as extensive as the album of photos of the waves off Kommetjie! I just love clouds!
