Rising and dissipating cumulus congestus clouds at home. They would not develop any further than this until the morning hours the day after |
Driving along the highway to the west near the Belgian-French border where some small heat storms developed (with tops till 14km / 45,000 feet) though |
These small heat storms were very short lived and dissipated again |
With no convection in sight, we went to eat some fries (and reloading the laptops battery). When we came out, new towers were developing again. A very good sign since the sun was setting, and simple diurnal heating could no longer be the only cause. Show larger map |
Good looking pop-corn convection |
Found a better location to observe the new convective towers Show larger map |
Good looking pop-corn convection with some mammatus - 100mp panorama |
Good looking pop-corn convection with mini anvil and moon |

More convective towers developing further west. These were not going to dissipate... |
