Tang Shunran,a meteorologist at the Keelung Weather station, was quoted by UDN, as stating that the lenticular
cloud formation indicates a high level of moisture, creating a strong chance of rain in the region for Saturday night through Sunday morning.
Reports said the
cloud formation is just a type of cloud called Lenticular, a stationary cloud typically in perpendicular alignment to wind direction.
This provides the small but precise surface needed for water vapor to settle and become liquid water, which is integral in
cloud formation. Water requires a non-gaseous surface to make the transition from a vapor to a liquid.
They discovered that jet drops and film drops have distinct ice nucleating abilities, and therefore different effects on
cloud formation.
They were accepted as a

This is to be followed by a hot day with local

The results also suggest that
cloud formation on these planets doesn't depend on temperature as clearly it does on brown dwarfs--the temperature-pressure balance might be a far more delicate one.
According to the Jordan Meteorological Department (JMD), rain is also forecast on the southern and central parts of the Kingdom with
cloud formation during the night mainly over the highlands.
A MIDLAND mum shared this incredible footage of a tornadostyle
cloud formation as the region experienced scorching temperatures and downpours in the same day.
Smoke from Africa's agricultural fires suppress rain
cloud formation and leads to less precipitation during the dry season.
