I lived 5 years in a condo in St. Pete Beach where I had access to the roof of the 6-floor building where I had a 360 deg view of the horizon. Would go nearly every evening to watch sunsets. Got some great captures from there. But always interested in clouds, since cloud physics was my area of stud

Cumulus clouds to the east are illuminated by the setting sun. There are four cloud layers with tops at different heights that give the range of colors. A thin curtainβ€”a pileus cloudβ€”crowns the highest cloud tops. St. Pete Beach

Great capture! This is a fall-streak hole cloud. The puffy cloud surrounding the hole consists of water droplets below freezing. When an aircraft flies through the supercooled cloud, the water droplets freeze and these ice crystals grow rapidly and fall out giving the appearance of streaks.

Very nice Brian. Have you ever considered a similar plot for wet bulb temperatures? It’s a better indicator of human comfort, with wet bulb temperatures above 99 F being unbearable.

Really powerful graphic that illustrates how our climate is shifting due to human impacts but with natural variability in the mix too. It's "and" not "either/or"...
