Beautiful day in Seattle yesterday, except for the large pyrocumulus cloud rising beyond the Columbia Center Bldg on the right. That is the Little Giant fire burning near Lake Wenatchee

Wow. What an incredible view of the Cottonwood Fire yesterday evening.

Remarkable resolution of a robust pyrocumulus plume.

…diverse tipologie (e stadi) di nubi convettive:

1. Convective Plume (simile a un cumulo Castellano)
2. Pyrocumulus (simile ad un cumulo congesto)
3. Resilinent Pyrocumulus (più sviluppato e dutaturo)
4. Pyrocumulonibus (massimo stadio, come un temporale).

The Pyrocumulus cloud over the Wildcat fire, which filled the area with smoke and knocked us off the PCT this week. Taken from Goat Rocks, a handful of miles South on the PCT from White Pass.

A cumulus trifecta in SE Michigan today: cumulus, altocumulus, and cirrocumulus. Just missing cumulonimbus and pyrocumulus.

A #stunning pyrocumulus cloud billowing thousands of feet above Washington's Sourdough Fire on August 4, 2023. The awe-inspiring result of an unfortunate event (a lightning strike.)🔥

The intense heat from the fire generated buoyant bubbles of warm, moist air, creating what's called a pyrocumulus cloud. Like a developing thunderstorm, rising warm air above the fire cools and condenses into water droplets we see as tall, cauliflower-shaped clouds. *Taken from my backyard. I had no idea what it was when I took the picture!

A Pyrocumulus Cloud at sunset. This was caused by wildfires in Colorado 2020.

An interesting, if unfortunate, sight flying over Montana yesterday on the way home. Apparently a big wildfire sending plumes of smoke skyward. As it reaches high enough, the cold upper air causes the rising smoke to form pyrocumulus and pyrocumulonimbus clouds. #Wx
Gray Smoke rising from a wildfire turns into white pyrocumulus and pyrocumulonimbus clouds clouds at high altitude. The pyro in pyrocumulus refers to fire.

Large Pyrocumulus cloud. Seemed like it was dying down. It appears to be ramping up.

Saw the first pyrocumulus cloud of my life last night, over Washington’s Olympic Peninsula, from Botany Bay on Vancouver Island. Our plans to camp at Cowichan Lake yesterday got aborted because a big wildfire erupted northwest of us, bringing an AQI spike of 250. Life in the Pyrocene!

Whoa. My sis just sent me this - a pyrocumulus eruption above a fire 50km away.
A photo of a huge towering rising cloud over the top of a fire, 50km away. The cloud is rising above hills and behind the horizon. The photo is looking down a wide country town sealed road.

Das ist selten: Über dem Waldbrand in Niederösterreich ist heute ein Pyrocumulus entstanden.
Das ist eine Quellwolke, die nur wegen der zusätzlichen Hitze des Feuers entstehen konnte.
Ohne Feuer wäre der Himmel hier wolkenlos gewesen.
