The mill and the mares’ tails

Wednesday 7th October 2026, 11.00am (day 5,522)

Mill and mares' tails, 7/10/26

Had I posted this on the Wednesday or the morning after I would have had to question the notion that this extensive display of cirrus presaged a change in the weather, for the worse. But sure enough, Thursday night and Friday morning have just been pretty revolting, so there you have it. Autumn does seem to be here, in some form or other.

Cold weather sky

Cold weather sky, 15/6/18

With mare’s-tails spread all over the sky and a circumzenithal arc showing off the ice crystals in the upper atmosphere… I think the recent warm weather might be coming to an end. Still, that’s an English June for you.

Corn Exchange, Manchester

Monday 4th July 2016, 8.35am (day 1,775)

Corn Exchange cirrus, 4/7/16

A very warm and pleasant morning. It wasn’t going to last, though — not with those mares’ tails up there. And nor did it — by 5pm it was happily raining again in Manchester.
