for me as a natural navigator there's some really fun things you can do with them in terms of making a map so they form over islands they form over dark woodland and they form over towns because each of those landscapes warms up more quickly than the land around them so whether it's a pacific navigator in the middle of the ocean looking for an island they'll be looking for cumulus clouds or if you're walking or driving across a wild area looking for a town

there's a very good chance that if it's, if it's a blue sky day, there'll be cumulus clouds over the town, but not anywhere surrounding it equally over dark woodland, the same thing. And then the third, the third family are the high wispy ones. I forget what the, what you, what you call it in the States. We call it candy floss, that kind of sugary candy stuff that we get at fairs here.

Do you know the stuff I mean? Cotton candy. Cotton candy. Yeah. Thanks. Yeah. I forget. I forgot the term, but it's, It looks very wispy. It's very high, this cloud. The Latin is cirrus. Sometimes people think it looks like feathers, and it does have lots of different forms. And that can be used for longer term forecasting.

So if you've had a period of sunny settled weather, one of the early signs that things are about to get worse is this wispy cotton candy, feathery high clouds is one of the earlier signs that because it's so high, It's the leading edge of a warm front system coming through, which can lead to a couple of days of bad weather.

As I look out of the cabin window that I'm in at the moment, I'll just pick a couple of things I'm seeing there.

leaves for example so leaves are smaller on the south side of a tree and bigger on the the north side of a tree uh and the and the way their angle changes as well so they tend to be they tend to point more down towards the ground on the south side and they tend to be closer to horizontal on the north side and it's not you know the tree or the leaves don't care about north south east west these are these are just obviously organic responses to to what's going on out there if um

And just looking at the ground, I can actually see a puddle. We've had a bit of rain today and puddles can form anywhere, but the way they dry is quite specific. So they're obviously going to dry more quickly in the sun and more slowly in the shade. And if you're walking along a track or a road, the south facing side is actually the north side.

So you end up with longer lasting puddles on the south side of tracks and roads.
