What is a cloud wave?
Posted on June 08th, 2009 in What
Very few in the world today are fortunate enough to have seen a cloud wave on the sky.It is a rare phenomenon and easily visible when you are out in the country side where your views are not hindred by skyscrapers.
Cloud waves are called mammatus clouds mainkly composed of ice and they are usually 100 miles in width.
Sure, they look ominous but they indicate something else for geologists, astronomers and weather forecasters.
My husband showed it to me once when we were travelling from Pondicheery by car. We stopped the car to watch it for several minutes before we before we were again on the road.
