How do they form?
Look up! Those are "Streets Clouds"

Look up! You might be seeing these beauties in the sky! We certainly see them on our WeatherRadar! What are they called? How do they form?

Street clouds are altocumulus clouds, clouds in the middle levels of the atmosphere. Their technical name is Undulatus Clouds. Yes, because they undulate! They are also known as street clouds because of how they resemble streets.

Undulatus clouds are a sign of fair weather or stable conditions. Clouds form where there is ascending air and clear spaces where there is descending air. The clouds that form orient themselves with the mean winds. Check out the WindRadar and confirm for yourself!

If you spot these clouds or any other cool ones, send them over! We would love to feature them and explain the process of how they form. Send your weather pictures here.

Super Typhoon Bavi threatens Taiwan. 155 mph winds. . Weather Videos. Wednesday, July 8, 2026
The image shows an intense tropical cyclone over the western Pacific, east of Taiwan and the Philippines. The centre of the system is depicted as a light purple and white vortex with a clearly visible eye, surrounded by a ring of red and orange areas indicating the strongest wind speeds. A white arrow marks the typhoon’s predicted track towards the north-west, in the direction of Taiwan. To the west of the storm lie the Philippines, with the cities of Manila and Cebu; to the north of these lies Taiwan, with Taipei. Further west, the Chinese coast, including Hong Kong, and parts of Vietnam can be seen. The coloured wind map shows predominantly green areas outside the storm’s core, indicating significantly weaker winds. White streamlines illustrate the typhoon’s anti-clockwise circulation in the Northern Hemisphere. The highest wind speeds are concentrated around the eye of the cyclone.
