Looking up at the sky is always a rewarding experience, more so if you love rains and clouds. Clouds form many interesting patterns in the sky. No two cloud formations look the same. We are treated with a new piece of art every time we look at a cloudy sky.
This picture was taken two months back from my home. This pattern of clouds is called fish scale clouds or Mackerel Sky, named so because of its resemblance to fish scales. The fish scale patterns are a sign that rains would arrive soon. It rained on the day I took this picture.
We all can do our own weather forecasting by such basic observations. Do you make your own weather forecasting?

You have a nice photo there. Clouds do create amazing shapes.
I didn’t know there are names for the cloud patterns. Thanks for sharing this.
I couldn’t tell whether it was going to rain at all when I was younger, but now as I always bring my children to the park, by observations and experiences, I guess my prediction becomes better.
I have an app for that but it is sometimes wrong.
Thanks Carol for your continued support. Rains are great for our gardens. Plants seem happy whenever it rains.
I didn’t know there is app for predicting rain. There should be, as there are always apps that help me to manage our life. 🙂
I also always appreciate the rains that help us to water the plants, and make the weather becomes better too. (Recently the haze in our area was really bad, thank to the rain, the air becomes cleaner now.)
Unfortunately, I can’t predict the weather ?
Me neither Vidocka. The fish scale clouds alone seem to work for me as it would for anyone.
Trust DocAndersen to be well equipped. There are many pluviophiles out here who have installed a weather station at home but not me.
If I am in pain it will probably rain.
That is a very different way of looking at things.
I can tell from the humidity and the heat.
Yes. I have seen a few people do that very accurately. I am not that good in forecasting rains through humidity.
I use my home weather station!
