There's a cloud in the sky!
It appear to be a Cumulus cloud! Enhanced by thermal convection. Further enhancement can produce Cumulonimbus clouds (see below!)
This is slightly worrying now for tnight's game because One of the largest individual cloud formations, they can extend to heights of 60,000 ft. The tops of CB clouds have an easily recognisable 'anvil' shape & can produce lightning, thunder, heavy rain, hail strong winds & tornados HOWEVER The main problem with observing CB clouds, is their size. If a thunder storm develops,it is generally on top of us before we know about it!
I would bring a Rain coat Just in case!
