Seeing wavy clouds, which resemble ocean waves on the underside of a cloud, indicates turbulence or instability in the upper atmosphere with stable air below. These cloud formations are relatively rare.
In essence, wavy clouds suggest a layered atmospheric condition:
- Upper Layer: Turbulent and unstable air is present.
- Lower Layer: The air is stable.
This phenomenon is visually striking and implies specific atmospheric dynamics are at play. It is worth noting these are rare sightings, so capturing them is a unique opportunity.
