August 5th, 2026 Timelapse
On August 5th, the morning began with gentle conditions, marked by light winds at the surface averaging just 1.0 mph. As the air warmed with the rising sun, temperatures hovered around 62.0°F, fostering a calm start to the day. However, the winds at 100 meters showed slightly more vigor at an average of 2.7 mph, shifting in a different direction that created a notable 81-degree difference from the surface winds. This discrepancy in wind direction led to some subtle turbulence, but low cloud cover, which sat at 13.8%, remained steady and unyielding as it drifted languidly across the sky. The cloud movement at this altitude was likely influenced by these surface conditions, as the minimal cloud activity allowed for an unobstructed view of the sky.
As the day progressed into midday, conditions began to evolve markedly. The surface winds picked up slightly to an average of 2.7 mph, while the winds at 100 meters increased to 3.5 mph. Notably, these winds continued to differ in direction, resulting in intriguing turbulence that hinted at potential cloud development. However, with cloud cover decreasing to just 1.0% and no mid or high-level clouds present, the sky mostly cleared, allowing sunlight to warm the temperature to a pleasant 78.9°F. Throughout this period, the lack of significant cloud presence coupled with the gentle winds created a serene atmosphere, characterized by the absence of precipitation and a brilliant blue sky.
In the evening, the weather settled further into a warm and clear pattern, with surface winds increasing to an average of 5.4 mph and winds at 100 meters reaching 8.7 mph. The temperature peaked at a comfortable 82.3°F, and remarkably, cloud cover dropped to 0.0%, leaving the sky completely clear. The wind shear between the surface and aloft layers persisted, though its impact was less visible without any clouds to showcase the layered effects. Instead, the evening sky was a canvas of deepening hues, offering a tranquil end to the day with no clouds to obscure the view. This lack of precipitation and cloud cover, combined with the increasingly steady winds, created an overall pleasant atmosphere that capped off a lovely summer day.
