For most months, I select an attractive photograph of Pitlochry & surrounds for the header. This month's is somewhat different. It was an actual cloud satellite photograph taken a few years ago in a north-westerly airflow.
As the photograph shows, a significant sized area, including Pitlochry, was doing very well for clear skies & unbroken sunshine. As for the greater part of Britain, an unbroken sheet of stratocumulus cloud reigned supreme.
That day, the Scottish Highlands were doing a great job in breaking up the cloud in our area, drying out the airstream & dissolving the cloud sheet, which was only to re-form again further south.
As the caption says---What a pity it doesn't happen every day---or at least more often!.
We do usually pay the price for living amongst the beautiful hills & mountains. These features are very effective in generating cloud, enhancing, lowering & thickening cloud, as well as enhancing & intensifying rainfall. We perhaps deserve a few more days each year when the set-up is more like the Header Photograph.
