Hiya Trevor...yes I noticed it...commented to my partner...even
'googled' 'weather strange light' this evening cos it was the same as
yesterday....any idea what causes it ?


Read on this evenings thread Wendy - my money's on the low temps/high cloud,
because it was weirdly light for 6 pm this evening,

Hi all. It was the first subject on the Dutch RTL-4 weather forecast just
a quarter of an hour ago. The explanation was that it was extremely cold
in the stratosphere, -80C at some height. With so low temperatures, there
can be condensation even there; the combination of these thin clouds'
height and the sun's light gives out this weird, yet beautiful colour. The
presenter actually started explaining that the stratosphere is getting
colder as part of global warming and that this /could/ be a more frequent
phenomenon in the future (actually she took it even further, explaining
that this de facto increase of instability could cause "more weather" in a
warmer climate on average). I hope it helps.

And here's the video link for anyone interested:http://tinyurl.com/2veph2
(press "Het weer 19:50 uur - Helga van Leur" under "Laatste videos" from the
menu on the right if it doesn't load directly).

Yannis.

Thanks for that, Yannis, and for the translation, because it
was all Greek to me, as we say. (er, sorry about that). Dutch, it
seems, is ten times more gghhhhuttural than Welsh, even. At least it
confirms that the cloud, or whatever it is, is very high. I think
saying that this will lead to more "weather" i.e. convective storms,
is rather gilding the lily and is highly unlikely.
Can you imagine an explanation like that on the BBC, let alone
anyone else, with their moronic graphics and overall infantile
approach. The bird was all right, 'n' all. But she was only a small
part of the reason I found this presentation something of an eye-
opener after the dross we suffer.

I believe there was a fairly detailed description and explanation on
R5L's "Up All Night" last night.

Guessing here, because I wasn't up all night, but would the explanation
have been provided by a certain Philip Eden?

These must be nacreous clouds, surely?

Any one else notice the very unusual colouring of the whole sky at dusk
the evening?

Pretty odd down here in Stamford too - I managed to get a picture before it
faded to a dark red. Check the weather page on my site (www.puffle.co.uk)
and scroll to the bottom. Beautiful tones of orange and purple.

Just as a followup, gliding on sunday at Darlton (N Notts) and everyone
commented on how pronounced the inversion was (in terms of the atmospheric
conditions - can't comment on the actual temps) so I don't know if that was a
factor in the sunset that followed

And up here in NE England - some eerie skies at dusk and dawn.

According to weatherman on local TV it's due to ice crystals high in the
atmosphere diffusing the light?
