Non Tornado video for funsies. Have you witnessed any of these incredibly rare clouds?!?
9:03 I saw and took a picture one of these in norman, OK! Later that day we had the ef3 cole tornado. Had debris landing in our yard and everything! Definitely gonna keep an eye out for those clouds now.
asperitas clouds look like the roofs of the little dens we used to build as a child 😂
I saw an EF5 tornado that had wind speeds of up to 295 mph. It's technically a cloud 🤯🤯🤔🤔
Idea: Sell Posters of your Rarity Charts on Clouds and Optical phenomena
Saw some lenticular clouds few months ago
I saw a little cartoon storm cloud in Germany once. Just a singular little fluffy guy with lightning flashing under him. Super cute.
Hehe small angry cloud >:>
like the classic little storm cloud? sounds like somebody was having a bad day and had a storm over their head lol
explosive diarrhea

It's so odd, the Asperites clouds must not be nearly as rare as people think, but rather much more dependent on the terrain or something because I've seen them many times where I live, and while they only last a few minutes most of the time, it's definitely them, the sky just looks like waves from below. I have yet to get lucky enough however to catch them on a good camera.
Ive seen them too! I wonder if there is a similar, more common cloud type that just looks like Aperites clouds?
I've seen them at least twice in Illinois, but it's (and a lot on this list) are kinda common where I now live in Utah. Before I moved here in 2011 I had a pretty basic understanding of microclimates, but living in a valley surrounded by mountains on nearly all sides, I definitely see how the air is always ping-ponging between the sides of the valley and adding a ton of turbulence to the clouds. We had a wall cloud about a month ago, not from a supercell or QLCS, but just from a storm rolling over the mountains from the west hitting strong southerly winds at the valley floor and the resulting shear. Air is just a liquid and has to follow the laws of physics.
I even saw them a view weaks ago! It was on a day that there where also thunderstorms. Do not forget that they are a so called supplementary feature, they are not a cloud species on their own. Often also seen as a form of the undulatus variation.
In my case they appeared on the bottom side of convective clouds at midlevel altitude, Altocumulus castellanus. And even that is not the first time how I have seen it.
I would also like to point out that the reason for their formation is already known too! They are formed by the fenomenon called gravity waves. A term in fluid dynamics, really well explained on wikipedia. Note that I do not refer to the coincidentally same term in modern physics, but really the term in fluid dynamics.
I saw it once
I need to check my camera history cause I honestly might. It's usually during a big storm in my part of Florida.
10:14 I saw nacreous clouds today here in Finland and they were STUNNING!! I watched them for an hour but then i had to get inside but they lasted half an hour more!!🤩🤩 I had never seen those before and I will remember those forever!!
I’ve lived in the North East for over 20 years and I’ve only seen asperitas clouds once, but it was incredible. Many of my neighbors and I stood outside to look at them because we’d never seen something like it before, absolutely an unforgettable experience
North east England?
@@thebigbossofhellhimself North East US 💪
I am originally from Germany but I moved to England.
You live in Russia? Because that’s the north east. Be specific babes
I am obsessed with clouds. Please do more of these.
same
I agree! Love them
Clouds are dope as shit
@@SewerRat_00fax
I've always loved them even as a kid and I loved them even more when I got to witness a rare phenomenon
I live in the mountains and I see lenticular clouds often, as I'm about 7,000 feet up. It's really nice to see because they feel so close to you!
One of my biggest wishes is to live in the mountain side
@@mnlight8308 It's very nice! If you like cooler temps than at sea level in the summer and winters that can be a bit long depending on your elevation, I say go for it! I prefer it, and most towns this high up are equipped to handle the winters if it gets too crazy.
@kentucky_fried_fetus yuh at least once in my life, I want to get out of this crowded, polluted city I live in and go for the mountains and everything nature has to offer. I have some question though, how is it like there during storm, would you consider it extreme? Is it too cold during winter? And how is the weather generally in your place?
I literally read "testicular" cloud Lmao
@@bananinhaamassada6919glad I’m not the only one 😅
I'm a person that has an intense fear of storms, winds and tornadoes. This caused me to learn all the cloud types and as a child I could closely predict when the storm was coming. I'm in the process of binging your whole channel and it's SO good. It's like watching true crime/scary stories channel combined with my one true fear - tornadoes. Funny how the scariest things can become your biggest obsessions! Thank you for this great content
That's exactly what sparked my tornado fascination! When I was a child, I would have full blown meltdowns anytime there was a weather alert on TV. My mom told me the best way to control a fear of something is to eliminate some of the mystery; I started studying and 30 odd years later, I feel like I have a pretty decent understanding of when I should actually be scared, lol.
Boo!
Jk lol but I'm scared of storms as well. But only at night because a traumatic tornado-related event from last year, it was like 4 in the morning and we almost got hit by a tornado
@@timthetd aaa! You scared me 🤣
I'm sorry for what happened to you. I hope you overcome it. I am so grateful to be living in a country where tornadoes aren't so common.
@lookwhosinsideagain3489 thanks lol 😆
Yeah! Tornadoes are actually so cool! 😀
I love clouds. It's the reason I love the rainy season here in Zambia. I'm always taking pictures of rainbows and different types of clouds.
I've actually seen asperitas clouds a few times in the past 3-4 months! I live in Orlando and, if we get a stormy afternoon with low-level shear, they can be really abundant. Gorgeous to look at and watch.
Lucky!! I'm in Orlando too but I haven't seen anything!
i found you again
I remember as a kid walking outside and seeing crazy green teal colored mammatus clouds above, just the whole town was green in the middle of the summer day. Interrupted by severe thunderstorms that time.

The whole of northern Sweden could see Nacreous clouds yesterday (17 dec 2023). In september this year, I managed to photograph a Kelvin-Helmholtz cloud. It moved very fast and it disappeared after only 3 photos. I've photographed tons of Cloud iridescence as well. I love clouds! 🥰
Sweden has had some gorgeous clouds over the last year! I'm in a group and remember seeing those amazing Kelvin Helmholtz and the nacreous clouds
Do you feel like you see them often? I live in northern England and I'm pretty sure I see Nacreous clouds somewhat often, maybe like 2 times a year? And it's always relatively cold as well, like 0 c or below. But he said they're rare so perhaps I'm mistaken
@@rambi1072I see them quite often (several times/year). Mostly the smaller and more simple ones, but sometimes they are very large and colourful. Just like the Aurora Borealis.
I love seeing timelapses of clouds - it really highlights how air is a fluid.
The clouds rolling like waves on the sea really accentuate that boundary between gaseous and liquid fluids and into solids. It could be a sunny breezy cloud day, or could rain, or could snow - Beautiful!
asperatus clouds are "common" in Iowa whenever we get severe thunderstorms. Ive seen them a few times before in the Waterloo area.
I think I just saw some yesterday
i’m on a trip right now and i’ve seen so many beautiful clouds it’s been amazing
@Williambzi’ve seen the fall streak hole, cumulonimbus, and noctilucent clouds
My stoner brain assumed something and then I remembered "Oh wait... people travel and stuff." 🫠😹
I never thought I could this excited about clouds. Thank you for opening my eyes to the world of clouds
I can't tell you how many times I've done exactly what you did at the end there. I was on a long drive with my dad one time and I pointed at these beautiful layered lenticular clouds standing over mountains in the distance and I was like "woah check out those lenticular clouds!" I don't think he expected me to have known the name of the cloud like that
I have seen Asperatus clouds over northern Illinois. The remnents of a hurricane was over our area caused these. I love them. I love time lapse videos of them. I'm also a member of the Cloud Appreciation Society. Great video! Thanks.
I saw roll clouds once when I was traveling in south Georgia. There were dozens of them, slowly rolling across the landscape. Absolutely beautiful
This is the first time I discovered your channel because I was out here trying to research about “uder clouds” and your video showed up and thought you have a really neat way of making videos and your voice is soothing in some way. New subscriber here!
Finally a video that covers every cloud I've been excited about for years!
I've seen Mammatus clouds before. It was after a huge storm. They're kind of scary but also beautiful.
Also, nice use of the DKC soundtrack 👍👍
Nice! Haha yeah I went a little overboard on the DKC soundtrack in this video.
I was hoping for Debussy
Loved watching this and learning the cloud formation names!! Thanks!
I just wanna say your musical choice and editing is immaculate. Thanks, I feel like I went on a journey with a friend who's really passionate about something.
Specifically the noctilucent clouds song.
Whoa, that is so wild to me that asperitas clouds are considered super rare! I grew up in the Midwest, in "Hoosier Alley," and we'd see those all the time before massive storms! I was at a point where I didn't even take pictures because it was just like "oh these again."
One really cool thing that has happened to me a couple of times has been being too far north to see the nacreous clouds. I was in Longyearbyen with a Polar night in December. Further south in Norway they had these angelic looking nacreous clouds for days. But we saw them as this eerie almost demonic red glow. It's the darkest time of year, you're not supposed to see the difference between noon and midnight, everything should look pitch black, and yet the sky glows with this eerie red color that doesn't change. It doesn't get brighter in the middle of the day and darker st night as you would expect, it hardly moves. I have so many cool photos of this. It's outright unsettling if you don't know what's going on.
I love your channel, and love the fact that it's getting so popular. People are curious about natural phenomena like tornadoes, clouds, comets, and other beautiful, widely appreciated things but in an unstated way. You put them into words and social awareness and I love to see a sort of fandom appearing for these abstract beauties. I'll love to see all the directions this channel goes. If it's an attractive enough rabbithole for you, I'd love to see you explore the effects of extreme weather on natural ecosystems, and how it functions as an ecosystem driver. There's tons of life that has adaptive features to extreme weather that are super intriguing, at least to me.
Gorgeous collection of clouds…, great video, thank tou
The images in this video are absolutely astounding. I remember learning about many of these cloud types in school when I was a kid, but you mentioned several that I have never heard about. I definitely learned a few things, thanks! 👍
Hey! Glad you enjoyed it!
Seeing Asperitas clouds for the first time was incredible, sat on my deck and watched them roll past like a seething mass of water in the sky. It was beyond incredible.
Love how much DKC music was used here. AND got to learn about some cool-ass clouds. Thanks for the vid!
Amazing music and atmosphere on channel. Subscribed) Thnx for video)
I used to fly in the navy, and this one time we were trucking along over Florida on a beautiful day. Up ahead this fluffy white cotton candy cloud, a bit below us, was just piling upward in the most interesting way. I’m like, “Hey Rudy let’s fly over that see what happens.” So we dipped over a bit to skim right over the top of it and BAM it was like getting punched in the belly of the plane, a punch of turbulence knocked us upward in a jolt. That was pretty cool, that’s when I realized why the thing was bubbling upward.
Nice! My cousin flys in the Navy!
I am so blown away by the end of this video… The #1 rarest Asperita Cloud
I have seen it!
As I was watching this video I thought back to the time I’ve seen the weirdest/coolest looking clouds in my life and I remembered the day I saw Asperita clouds.
I’ve only seen them once, ever, when I was in my teens (in my 20s now)
right outside my house in Chicago.
In your list when you got to Mammatus clouds I was like hey! I saw those! But they looked much rounder and smoother in your video. But once I saw Asperitas it triggered such a direct feeling in me because those are spot on to what I saw!
They were undulating with textured “ripples” or unevenness on them, which made them look exactly like they do in your photo with the cows grazing 12:33
The way they spread the light with darker and lighter portions on them was mesmerizing.
I’m realizing how lucky I was to see that and now I have this video to show my friends and family what it looked like. Thank you Swegle this made my day, and it’s already the 4th of July today!
P.S.
The Asperitas clouds I saw lasted maybe 20-30 mins tops. I stepped outside to go for a walk and they were there. I don’t know how long they were already there, but after a short time they started to fade. The way they faded was by gradually loosing that “texture” they have underneath. Becoming smoother and more evenly spreading the light around each “wave” until they resembled very mild mammatus clouds. I remember seeing the clouds looking almost even and normal like within the hour.
I love this stuff. Probably a decade later now and I’m finally learning what they’re called
This is literally so cool, thanks Swegle 😁👍
I can remember walking near my house as a teenager and seeing a perfect circle cut out of the clouds above me. Nice to finally know what it's called, thanks! (In my 30s now)
Living in Poland, I feel spoiled when it comes to observing clouds because I saw a large portion of this list at regular intervals, different types at different times of the year. Always in June and July, you can see Noctilucent clouds, Mammatus/Asperitas/Shelf clouds in spring and autumn, and Nacreous in winter (and there are many opportunities to see different versions of Halo)
Did you see any mushroom clouds? I heard they used to be common over there in the 40s
@@meatloverspizza23lol
Ive seen asperatus clouds before a few times. In my area, there's mountains and valleys and its so cool to watch them move.
Here in South Carolina they show up all the time. You don’t often see any other particular clouds where I am though.
I love meteorology so much. And while I do absolutely love the tornado videos, it’s fun to see you cover other meteorological phenomena. Great video as always!
This channel is somewhat special. I can feel that authenticity. This is awesome
I subscribed for the tornado content but you have opened the door to my new interest in cloud types. Thanks!! Love this video
I remember seeing Kelvin-Helmholtz clouds once. They're pretty funky looking. Also I think I saw asperatus clouds while in Ireland.
When I was in training at Fort Sill in Oklahoma with the Army, I saw Mammatus clouds while marching in the early morning. They were purplish in color and puffy like popcorn. It was wild to see with the lightning in the sky.
I absolutely love your content, specially those based around clouds - I remember seeing an image called "swiss cirrus cloud" a while ago, not sure if it was it's own cloud type but it looked awesome.
Never a dull moment with Swegle! Love the video! It’s so easy and nice to listen to you! Keep up the great work!🎉
Thanks so much! 😊
I've seen asperatus clouds! I was driving along the open highway in Illinois/Indiana. They were creepy looking because they were dark, covered the whole sky, and seemed to hang particularly low to the ground. -- I've also seen lenticular clouds when I was visiting the Washington/Oregon area a few years ago. I had seen photos of this type of cloud over a single mountain peak but the ones I saw that day were all over the sky. I didn't know that was possible so again, very weird when the clouds do something you aren't used to seeing!
I did not expect to see so much passion go into for youtube video for clouds, but I love it.
Only just found your channel and I am in nerd heaven, I love cloud formations and the physics behind them; I find them utterly fascinating so thank you for the highly engaging information and the great way that you delivered it. I gotta sat that, even though Asperitas clouds are great with time laps video, the Nacreous cloud is just spectacular and I hope that I get to see just one in my life time. LOVED the video and the amazing images, I am hooked for sure and subbed immediately. Can't wait for more like this. I can't imagine videos like this are quick and easy to make so thank you for sharing your knowledge and time.
8:06 uhmm yeah
I remember seeing asperitas clouds for the first time in Dallas Tx around 2014, they were incredibly surreal and I had no idea how rare they were at the time
My kiddo loves to shout CUMULUS and CUMULONIMBUS it cracks me up. They’re her favourite to point out 🥰
Super groovy! I looooove clouds and understand how they form from watching the sky in my living over the road💜 subbed uou. I dig your presentation snd explanation
Hey Swegle, I just discovered your channel like a few weeks ago and I really enjoy your content, you bring a lot of zen to the table, and some how make tornado’s a cozy topic. As a kid I was obsessed with the movie twister and went through a small tornado interest faze and your tornado vids reignited that, your natural phenomenon vids are sweet to, keep it up dude!
Wow thanks! Will do!
I’ve actually seen Nacreous clouds twice or so, I live in Norway so it’s not too surprising as it gets really cold her. I’ve seen them during the winter / early spring, they’e super beautiful in real life and I indeed have not forgotten it, the first time I was extremely confused because I had no idea what they were, now I do though. I just called them ‘oil clouds’ as they looked like oil in water lol
Actually seen the first rare cloud in the thumbnail recently. It was pretty cool.
This is a great video, nice work. So many times we look at weird clouds, wonder and forget.
I'm pretty sure that sometimes shelf clouds can actually detach from a thunderstorm and become its own independent formation as a roll cloud
Love your vids man
I just saw this video like 2 days ago and I am looking up at manmatus clouds. Never would've known they were rare without your video. They look awesome in person.
Clouds are awesome. Video game music is awesome. Good vibes.
8:06 everything reminds me of her
Same thing i was thinking…
AYO
7:42 tha mountain has a nice hat
Typical 2:43am video to be recommended to me. Thank you for providing me with such relaxing content.
I remember it was my junior year of high school and me and my gf at the time saw a mustache cloud and it got us both so hyped. One of my fondest memories of us connecting.
6:30 i think someone ascended to heavens in this picture

Asperitas cloud are very common in North Texas in the Spring and Fall when we get the most rain. I see them all the time when there is a low flowing storm cloud. I think it has to do with the geography of the DFW area and how it affects wind/cloud movements over the sky here. They are very beautiful clouds to witness. Cumulonimbus clouds also happen very often here. I actually see them at the edge of almost every storm that swipes over my town. The area I live in, in North Texas only gets storms swiping up from the South-west to the North-east and I think the very flat geography of West Texas combined with the very hilly geography of North Texas causes these storms to rise just before reaching this area and that might be why cumulonimbus clouds happen so often here. Texas just has the perfect geography for insane clouds and also the worst geography for creating so many tornadoes. 😅
You had it right the first time. Light waves disperse due to refraction and boom! Pretty rainbow clouds!
This is the type of videos I love, looking for the most amazing natural phenomenon.
Happy Independence Day.

3:14 They playing mario kart rainbow road irl
this is what gave me the idea what to draw or paint
Living in the Mojave desert valley, I've seen several of these phenomenon throughout my life. Including horse shoe clouds, the high altitude ice ones, tons of thunder heads, and lenticulars too.
0:02 Yea been in the Boys restroom in a highschool
🧍♂️
The horseshoe vertex cloud actually occurs pretty often near the black hills of South Dakota, I wish I could figure out why though
I love your channel! So fun😁
I'm originally from Cedar Rapids and I was there in 2006 and I still have pics of the Aspiratas clouds from that day, we have 20 acres and a pond, and the views were unforgettable! We had no idea what we were seeing.
I seriously just saw mammatus clouds yesterday at my family’s camp. I thought it was really odd to see a cluster of nearly perfect mound shaped clouds. Thanks for the great video!
Nice vid always love this type of vids about sky stuff
Also whats the song at 5:23 its so nice and chill
I also want to know : (
I wish I knew😢
If you want to know, the song is called Forest Interlude from Donkey Kong Country 2. Welcome in advance.
@@jamesip8644 Thank you
Over at Chicago, we get mostly overcast clouds or something similar, but I feel like our cumulus clouds look absolutely incredible, they are so detailed and they sometimes mix with all other sorts of cloud types forming very complex skies
I love the music choice for all the different clouds
Now I'm scared of clouds.
Haha FUNNY😂
And yet they could spice up Geography class by teaching us these cool clouds a fun facts smh...
When I was a kid, it was late afternoon and the sky was covered with roll/barrel clouds. I haven't seen these type since, but they made a big impression on me as a young lad.
I was lucky to see a Horseshoe vortex cloud once on my way home from work. I never knew what it was called, but now I do thanks to this video. I have also seen Asperitas clouds a few times.
11:43 cryptic much 😟
Saw some in Japan they were sick
4:50 oo la la
uh
Cool 😎
I’m impressed with how many of these I’ve actually seen in person. Not all but more than I expected & I definitely didn’t know the names of each.
I love kelvin helmtholt clouds, Ive been obsessed with them since 3rd grade when we were supposed to talk about a cloud. Im 13 now.
10:20 MR KRABS IS REAL
That's a nuke 0:24🗿 (im joking)
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
it’s a cumulonimbus cloud ☺️
@@AcademicJaedonit’s a joke and I can tell by ur pfp you didn’t get it. And your name too…
I GOT A NUKE BOMB SIMULATOR AFTER READING THIS COMMENT LOL wait is UA-cam spying me-
I saw once kelvin Helmholtz clouds and when the sunset hits it perfectly it’s an experience of life time.
I refuse to die without seeing these all
St. Louis May 22, 2024 Asperitas clouds and it was eerie and amazing. Mentioned to my neighbor and he commented seeing these clouds at work and folks were stunned as so unusual.
I live in a very southern state (Geographic Wise) and I love Aspertias Clouds, they are so pretty! I wish i could see them, but I have only seen them once, and they made my day!
I have seen asperitas clouds only once in my life - I was driving from my university in Arkansas to California to head home for Summer vacation.
A little over a week before, there had been a devastating tornado that had hit a town on my route home; being a life-long weather enthusiast, I wanted to make a stop in that town and see if there was anything I could do to help on my way through.
As I got closer and closer to the town, I noticed the sky start to look like huge rolling waves. I had never seen such churning and ominous clouds and wondered if a storm might be coming (a horrific thought after this community had been devastated so thoroughly).
After spending an afternoon in the town, I watched the sky darken and realized I should continue my drive westward.
Emergency broadcasts started to sound over the radio issuing a tornado warning for the area I was just leaving. Despite having a lifelong dream of witnessing a tornado in real life… I stepped on the gas and didn’t look back.
It wasn’t until I reached my hotel for that night in Texas that I learned that despite just having been hit itself, I observed asperitas clouds just east of Moore, OK on May 31st, 2013, several hours ahead of what would be El Reno.
I remember when i was in my hometown, every evening the clouds i see are lenticular clouds. I was in awe by just simply looking at it.
I even saw a kelvin helmholtz cloud only once. then it disappeared after.
In my school, I’ve seen the rarest cloud on the list before!! That cloud you said makes you think you’re underwater? I’ve seen it!
I feel privileged to say I’ve seen every single one of these :,)
I actually got a picture of some asperitas clouds while delivering mail once. I had no idea what they were called until today, but I remember thinking about how weird they looked, and honestly being kinda scared, because it was a bad weather day. We ended up having some pretty strong storms roll through a couple hours later (thankfully no bad winds or anything, just a lot of rain).
When I looked up one day and saw a Nacreous cloud I was just frozen looking at it. It had a full, vibrant, rainbow of colors, and I live in Southern CA. It was probably around 10am on a chilly winter day and was sprinkling a little bit, and yes I will never forget it.
