Right now. Time for Fact of the day. Day day day day.

Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do doo doo.

It's cloud week. Yeah, hear are fact of the day.

If you see anat cloud today, take a photo of it and send it to me. Grow up, tell me what you think it looks like. It's just I was just trying to get a bit of interaction. Yeah, with the with the listeners, but back and forth.

You want to deal with a thousand cloud photos and go for it, that's cool.

I will, and I'll forward them on to one News and claim all that I took all of the photos. Yeah, he's really dominating that weather, those weather picks.

Well, today I want to tell you about pyro cumulus. You know cumulus. It always says something, he's a fluffy one.

Say no cloud it's made by fire, oh.

Like on fires? Probably not big enough, Okay.

Flammagenitus that's another name, flammagenitus cloud, also known as a pyrocumulus.

Yeah, pyrocumulus flamogenitus pyro cumulominibus is another one. Okay, So clouds there's a few wags clouds are formed.

One of them is by at Earth's level.

It gets hot and heat goes up and when it goes up, but drags moisture with it.

It gets up there turns into cloud yep.

Now, when wildfires or volcanoes are erupting, such an intense heat is released, it forms a rapid formation of clouds known as pyrocumulus, and enough water vapor is available.

So you think about and you.

Know you'll see more likely in the tropics where it's humid. Yeah, the volcanoes erupted and above them there's a massive storm cloud and lightning in this.

Well, that is because that is a.

Pyro cumulomnibus, because it drags enough water vapor weather up well that it causes a cloud really quick.

Yeah, it's got all that energy in it and then boom, she's the thunder.

And that's why you often see thunderstorms over volcanoes.

Because of the difference in temperature, because of.

The hyper temperature of it. Just like shooting it straight straight up. Pyro cumulus. That's cool, and that's why.

It's so like textured. Yeah, pyrocumulus.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, because it's the heat shooting it up real quickly, and wildfires as well. But obviously your average wildfire is happening in a very dry, arid years. They wouldn't be moisture, not enough moisture. But there are situations where a wildfire can happen.

And then if it was by the coast and there was ocean, would it have the heat?

Yeah, cause because I guess the heat goes up, would drag the ocean humidity over it. Hmmm, I would put it so amazing.

Clouds are not the kind of clouds want to be near enough to see and photos of them in any situation you have seen your photos to because I love clouds, the love of clouds.

This is a problem with doing a week streak.

In fact of the day I have these like week long hyperfixations on things. Yeah, like yesterday when I was mowing the lawns and I was looking at the clouds and I was.

Like, I wonder what one you are? Yeah? What formed you? How long are you going to be around tomorrow?

No, I'm not even going to tease it because people will google it and find their own answers.

Okay, okay, and then it won't be as much self filtered into it doesn't.

He's passionate about his fects of the day. So today's fact of the day are there are clouds made by fire and extreme heat, and they got a cool name.

It's pyro cumulus.

Fact of the day, day day day day. Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
