Clearly visible night shining clouds - 20.6.2019 at 00.12 - 20.6.2019 at 02.15 Lahti Observation number 83713

Visibility III / V


A mobile alarm from jogging, the northern half of the sky lapping at night clouds.

Added the rest of the images from the night to the report. Larger: pictures , video .

The strongest night cloud mass was sometimes seen in the west - northwest - north, where there was a lot of wave, but the eastern sky also had a single dim shape.

These northern backlit night clouds are clearly more glowing compared to the southern winning performances of the previous week. In a darker sky (assuming geometry still allowed for lighting), the show would have been very bright.

The flow of previous night clouds has been strongly south-oriented, now the direction seemed to be more to the west.

Interestingly, the normative clouds forming in the lower atmosphere also occasionally showed undulations or layering.
