A CLOUD spotted over North Wales has been officially recognised as a formation.

The asperitas is the first new type in more than half a century.

Rare cloud spotted by mountaineer instructor during Snowdonia climb

Mountaineer instructor Patrick Hickie photographed the spectacular cloud during a 2,460ft climb in Snowdonia.

The Cloud Appreciation Society has campaigned since 2006 for asperitas to be labelled as a separate type after other sightings around the world.

It has now been recognised by the World Meteorological Organisation and will be in 2017’s International Cloud Atlas.

And it has been named after the Latin word for “roughness” because of a resemblance to stormy seas.

In Sayward there is a cloud forms every day around a mountain top. Called Oscar by the residents.

That isn't new. New to the turd in the punch bowl maybe.

That isn't new.

Try telling that to the experts at the Cloud Appreciation Society.

Around here it'd be called Dave or Bob or Andy.

Great Britain is a land of stunningly beautiful countryside, quaint villages, medieval buildings, mountains, lakes, fine foods, a high standard of living, one of the world's lowest murder rates, a plethora of modern and ancient culture and traditions and a long history which North Americans can only dream of.

It's admirable that you're proud of your country. But there's no way in hell Great Britain Has even near the diversity of America. Arizona alone has your country beat. As far as food, give me a break.

Diversity in what way? Because if it's diversity of people then I don't want Britain to be diverse.

If it's diversity of landscape, then Britain wins hands down. There's no other country of similar size that has as much geographical diversity as Great Britain. Britain is far more geographically diverse than Arizona.

As far as food, give me a break.

Nothing wrong with Britiush food. It's the greatest food in the world. It's certainly far better than American food.

America is a melting pot. We have foods from every country in the world.

It's lucky it didn't turn into a tornado with all those mountains there.

You have a narrow view. Go have a crumpet

Now that you've mentioned it, I might just do that. With plenty of butter on it, of course. I love it when the butter melts on the hot crumpet's surface.

My theory of their formation is what I dub "The Ricochet Effect."

Snowflakes and clouds never have two that look the same. Water vapor clouds are 1 group. The ones that you will see that are much higher in the sky would be the result of much colder air causing some gas to turn to ice and refract the sun's rays.

Something like this.
