June 25th, 2026 Timelapse
On June 25th, the day began under a blanket of clouds, as the morning saw a robust cloud cover reaching 100 percent. At the surface, winds were gentle, averaging just 4.0 mph, while winds aloft at 100 meters were slightly stronger at 5.7 mph. The low clouds, comprising 81.3 percent of the total, hung heavily, casting a muted light across the landscape. Mid-level clouds were also substantial, covering nearly 70 percent of the sky, along with high clouds that completely dominated the upper atmosphere. This combination of cloud layers, all moving in concert due to the light winds, created an almost ethereal quality to the scene, despite the chill of the morning air, which averaged around 55.6°F. A hint of precipitation was already on the horizon, with the moisture-laden atmosphere prepared to produce rain.
As the day progressed into midday, the weather began to shift. The winds at both the surface and at 100 meters dropped significantly to averages of 1.3 mph and 1.7 mph, respectively, making the air feel notably still. Despite this calm at lower levels, the clouds remained steadfast, with mid and high clouds clinging to the sky at 100 percent coverage. Interestingly, low clouds receded to a mere 7.2 percent, allowing for a glimpse of the upper layers. The lack of surface wind caused a more tranquil cloud movement, but the persistent high and mid-level clouds were still influenced by the gentle aloft winds, creating an almost surreal, layered effect as the day warmed to an average temperature of 62.0°F. The wind shear between the calm surface and slightly faster winds higher up added a hint of turbulence, resulting in subtle undulations of the cloud forms across the sky.
As evening descended, conditions began to change once more. Surface winds picked up slightly to an average of 4.9 mph, while winds at 100 meters increased to 7.8 mph, leading to a more dynamic atmosphere. The cloud cover remained extensive, with mid-level clouds still holding strong at 99.7 percent and high clouds comprising 90.4 percent of the overall coverage. Low clouds, however, had increased to 47.4 percent, creating a more textured sky. The evening brought a light rain that totaled 0.24 inches, providing a refreshing end to the day. The interaction between the varying wind speeds at different altitudes continued to foster turbulence, which influenced the cloud formations, resulting in a visually captivating tapestry as the sun set at 9:07 PM. Overall, June 25th showcased the ever-changing beauty of the Northwest sky, where wind and clouds danced in a complex interplay throughout the day.
