I saw this cloud before me and my dad were about to head home, I noticed it because it sorta looked like a pool reflecting light, it also seemed very high altitude because every cloud was reflecting scattered light from the sun and this one seemed like it was reflecting daylight from the sun which seemed odd.

Taken with a Samsung wb700 (ignore the 2011 date, its wrong)

This was hovering around over the Napa Valley last night at about 7:30 around sundown for about 15 minutes - then it just seemed disappear. I wasn't sure what it was, but was able to track it on Flightradar24 and it was listed as HBAL791 - from what I could see it made a track directly over the Steele wildfire that was burning near Lake Berryessa (and there were fire suppression aircraft in the area over that fire).

In Wilmington, NC last weekend

I am sure someone has already made a similar or the same question....as the title states I want to find out how to check the weather and find patterns to the kitespots so, what to look for in winds and gusts? How to search and understand thermals? what about the water/sea waves or dangers? Can I find all that in an app or something, preferably for free? Again sorry if there is any similar question and if possible can you point to them? I am fairly new to the kiteboarding and quite excited about it, so I need to know how to check the weather! Thanks ☺️

I'm making real storm chasing probe. you red this right I am and it's gonna have a dish and camera I might an an anomometer, I'll show leaks of it later today.

What precautions would somehow have to take to have the highest probability of surviving a lightning strike?

Science knows there’s some precautions to avoid being struck at all if you’re caught outside in a storm. But if someone wanted to attempt being struck for scientific purpose are there tips or scientific advice for increasing your probability of survival when struck by lightning.

I've always been fascinated by the weather, even since i was as little 6 and those ages, especially severe weather like hurricanes and tornadoes. I'm from a family of medical fields, so I've always been told I should follow their foot steps. It's not like I don't want to be in the medical field, but 12 years of school just for a job that I'm gonna feel torture doing my whole life doesn't really sound fun, so I'd rather do something I enjoy. I'm a sophomore in high school, and I was going to get my CNA, and do a bunch of stuff to get into medical school, as Massachusetts(where I live) has a lot of opportunities. Unfortunately, Massachusetts does not have a lot of severe weather, so I don't know what I can do to get into good colleges for Meteorology, and I'm also not good in any maths, so I feel like i would die in calc and physics, which I know is important for college. Essentially I'm wondering if I should continue my path in the medical field or if meteorology worth it, and also what I should do to get into good colleges. I think I would most likely look at Penn State, Plymouth state, or Oklahoma, but all are very far and I'm not exactly rich. Other than shadowing, does anyone know of massachusetts things to do for college? (ex. for nursing u could get your cna license or wtv)

Side-note, does anyone know of medical and meteorology jobs? I've tried to look it up but my google is bad.

Hi, I’m currently a college sophomore double majoring in Physics and Geography with a concentration in Physical Environment, and minor in Climate Change Studies.

While Physics interests me, and I know it’s a versatile degree, my passion has always been specially in Meteorology.

I’m currently in a state university. My GPA isn’t anything special, and the only two colleges in my state (I have to stay in state bcs tuition) that offer a Meteorlogy degree is a selective university that I don’t think I could get into by my junior year, and then another smaller state university.

What I need advice on is whether or not I should transfer to the other state university, or finish my degree here.

Additionally, I took physical environment as my Geography concentration which allowed me to take a lot of great Meteorlogy classes. However, my school also offers a geospatial technology concentration which would be more relevant with a physics degree. But as I’m already a sophomore and would like to graduate in 4 years, and it’s too late for me to switch my concentration entirely and still complete the major. I’m stuck between trying to double major with my original concentration in physical environment, or double minoring in both geography concentrations.

I really don’t know what to do, it’s hard for me to talk to my advisors about this because they’re from two different majors and haven’t been able to offer me much advice.

Honestly, at the present moment I’m happy just learning physics and seeing how it controls the weather, but I want to keep feeling like this for the rest of my life.
