Happy International Cloud Appreciation Day! – Hurricane Research Division

1 min read

As NOAA begins flights into Tropical Storm Fiona, we want to celebrate the first International Cloud Appreciation Day. Sponsored by the Cloud Appreciation Society, this is an internationally recognized day when people around the world are encouraged to spend a few moments appreciating the beauty of the sky. We thought we’d share some of the best photographs of clouds from our missions into Hurricane Earl earlier this month. Enjoy!
