Description
These long, crazy-looking clouds can grow to be 600 miles long and can move at up to 35 miles per hour, causing problems for aircraft even on windless days.
Known as Morning Glory clouds, they appear every fall over Burketown, Queensland, Australia, a remote town with fewer than 200 residents. A small number of pilots and tourists travel there each year in hopes of "cloud surfing" with the mysterious phenomenon.
“In terms of how they form, it's about air rising, cooling and then descending again”.
They're most commonly seen in Australia and are most commonly associated with sea breeze condensation.
"The rising, cooling and falling of atmospheric waves create the thin strips of clouds”.
