July 22nd, 2026 Timelapse
On July 22nd, the morning began with gentle winds barely stirring the air, registering an average of 1.9 mph at the surface and slightly stronger at 2.3 mph at 100 meters above ground. The weather was warm, with an average temperature of 68.3°F. Cloud cover was minimal early on, with only 15.8% of the sky obscured, predominantly by high clouds at 5.3% and a few mid-level clouds at 8.2%. This light cloud coverage, coupled with the slow-moving winds, allowed the early sunlight to filter through softly, creating a serene atmosphere. However, the winds did show some conflicting directions between altitudes, leading to mild turbulence, particularly noticeable in the upper layers, where the winds began to shift slightly despite calm conditions below.
As the day progressed into midday, the winds picked up, especially at higher altitudes, where the average speed increased to 3.4 mph at 100 meters. Surface winds also saw a slight increase to 2.6 mph. During this time, the cloud cover became more pronounced, climbing to an average of 42.2%, dominated by high clouds, which surged to 37.8%. The mid-level clouds also saw a modest increase to 9.8%. The stronger winds aloft began to push the clouds across the sky more rapidly, creating dynamic patterns as some layers drifted quickly in one direction while lower clouds remained relatively stable. This contrast caused a visible wind shear, creating a fascinating interplay of cloud dynamics, as different layers shifted at contrasting speeds, producing intricate textures in the sky.
In the evening, conditions took a notable turn as surface winds increased significantly to an average of 10.1 mph, and the winds at 100 meters rose even higher to 14.8 mph. The temperature dropped to a pleasant 77.6°F, while the average cloud cover reached 51.7%. The clouds began to thicken, with mid-level clouds accounting for 25.7% and high clouds still holding strong at 36.6%, creating a layered effect in the sky. This increase in cloud density, combined with the turbulent winds, resulted in occasional light precipitation of 0.03 inches. The final state of the day showcased a dramatic sky, with fast-moving cloud formations and complex layering, brought about by the varied wind patterns and the conflicts between different altitude layers. As the sun descended, these clouds glowed in hues of orange and pink, culminating a day marked by evolving weather dynamics.
