June 12th, 2026 Timelapse
On June 12th, the day began with a gentle atmosphere, as surface winds averaged around 4.6 mph, providing a calm start to the morning. Winds at 100 meters climbed to a slightly brisker average of 7.3 mph, indicating a subtle increase in intensity as the layers rose. The cloud cover sat at a moderate 40.8%, primarily consisting of low clouds that accounted for 36.3% of the sky, while high clouds barely made their presence known at 7.3%. The temperature hovered at a cool 52.1°F, suggesting that the clouds were likely holding onto some moisture, yet no precipitation was reported. With the stronger winds aloft, there was a potential for turbulence as the gentle surface breezes contrasted with the faster upper flows, setting the stage for an interesting interaction between the layers.
As the day progressed toward midday, the weather transformed significantly. Surface winds picked up slightly to an average of 7.6 mph, and winds at 100 meters increased to 10.3 mph. Cloud cover dramatically diminished to just 6.8%, with low clouds nearly disappearing, making way for a clearer sky adorned only by high clouds at 6.5%. The temperature rose notably to 70.1°F, indicating a warm midday atmosphere. The enhanced winds aloft not only helped to disperse the lower cloud cover but also led to a more stable air mass. The interaction between the surface winds and the stronger winds at altitude reduced the turbulence, allowing for a smoother sky with a few wispy clouds that moved effortlessly across the horizon, creating a serene backdrop.
By evening, the conditions continued to stabilize, with surface winds averaging 8.5 mph and winds aloft reaching a peak of 12.7 mph. The cloud cover had all but vanished, plummeting to a mere 0.4%, which resulted in a beautifully clear sky just before sunset. The temperature slightly cooled to 69.6°F, maintaining the day's pleasant warmth. Turbulence remained minimal as the winds aligned more uniformly across the layers, reducing wind shear. As the sun began to set, the interaction of the remaining high-altitude winds with the calm surface conditions enhanced the tranquility of the evening, allowing for a spectacular view of the sunset without the distraction of clouds. Overall, June 12th presented a smooth transition from a cloudy morning to a beautifully clear evening, showcasing the dynamic yet serene nature of Northwest skyscapes.
