July 12th, 2026 Timelapse
On July 12th, the day began with a gentle atmosphere, where surface winds averaged a mild 3.7 mph, creating a calm and tranquil start. At 100 meters above ground level, winds were slightly brisker, averaging 6.2 mph, which began to stir the clouds into motion. Overall, the sky was quite cloudy, with an average cloud cover of 47.7%, predominantly consisting of low clouds at 45.3%, which gave the atmosphere a soft, overcast feel. Mid-level clouds made a modest contribution, appearing at 3.7%, while high clouds remained scarce at just 0.7%. Despite the cloud coverage, no precipitation occurred, allowing for a dry morning characterized by cooler temperatures around 54.4°F. The disparity between surface winds and those higher up indicated a potential for light turbulence, as the gentle surface conditions clashed slightly with stronger upper winds.
As the day progressed into midday, the weather underwent a noticeable transformation. The surface winds picked up, averaging 5.8 mph while the winds at 100 meters increased to 7.7 mph. This shift in wind speed helped to disperse some of the low cloud cover, reducing it to just 1.2% by midday. Mid-level clouds, on the other hand, became more prominent, increasing to 12.0%, while a significant portion of high clouds emerged at 25.0%. These high clouds moved swiftly across the sky, driven by the stronger upper winds, creating a striking contrast with the clearer lower levels. The interaction of wind layers generated a mild turbulence effect, as the differing speeds of the winds at various altitudes created a dynamic environment in the sky, where clouds danced and shifted in patterns that showcased the instability of the atmosphere.
By the evening, conditions had settled further, revealing a remarkably clear sky with no cloud cover whatsoever. Surface winds continued to strengthen slightly to an average of 7.3 mph, while winds at 100 meters reached 10.3 mph, signaling a consistent upward trend in speed. The absence of clouds allowed for abundant sunlight, raising temperatures to an average of 70.2°F, which felt quite inviting. The wind flow remained relatively uniform, and with the absence of conflicting wind directions, there was minimal turbulence, allowing for a serene conclusion to the day. The clear skies and gentle breezes created a picturesque evening, perfect for enjoying the warm summer night, where the previous day's cloud dynamics felt like a distant memory.
