#MEwx Sunny, colder and how to tell weather by looking at clouds

Good morning Augusta.

Here’s another proverb about clouds.

“When clouds appear like rocks and towers, the Earth’s refreshed with frequent showers.”

Clouds like rocks and towers weather proverb illustration.

This proverb references the foreboding visual characteristics of storm clouds — known as cumulonimbus clouds. These towering behemoths reach up to 75,000 feet in the sky, and before turning anvil-like, they appear as rocks being stacked upon each other. So when rocks and towers appear in the sky, expect storms.
