May 25th, 2026 Timelapse
On May 25th, the day began with a gentle air movement as surface winds averaged 4.7 mph. At 100 meters, however, the winds were noticeably stronger, gusting to about 9.1 mph. This difference created a hint of turbulence in the lower atmosphere, especially where the lower clouds, accounting for 5.7% of the total cloud cover, were trying to catch up with the faster mid clouds, which occupied 75% of the sky. The overall cloud cover was substantial at 85.3%, with high clouds making up 45.3%. The temperature was a cool 52.5°F, and as the clouds drifted slowly across the sky, the gentle breeze helped to gently ripple the lower layers while the higher clouds maintained a more regal, languid pace, hinting at the potential for precipitation later in the day.
As midday approached, the weather conditions continued to evolve, leading to a more dynamic atmosphere. The surface winds increased slightly to an average of 6.5 mph, while winds at 100 meters saw a modest increase to 9.6 mph. By this time, the cloud cover had thickened significantly, reaching a full 100% with low clouds now comprising 51.5% and mid clouds nearly saturating the sky at 99.2%. The interaction between these various layers became noticeable, as the mid clouds, propelled by the faster winds above, began to push lower clouds around, creating a swirling effect in the sky. With a total of 0.07 inches of precipitation reported, the clouds looked heavy and pregnant with rain, causing a veil of mist to descend over the landscape, blurring outlines and adding to the atmospheric tension of the day.
As evening settled in, the winds maintained a steady feel, with surface winds averaging 6.0 mph and winds at 100 meters increasing slightly to 10.1 mph. The cloud cover began to ease slightly, dropping to an average of 58%, with low clouds accounting for 29.6% and mid clouds reducing to 48.6%. This shift allowed for glimpses of the fading blue sky amidst a backdrop of layered clouds that appeared to dance with the evening light. The interplay of winds at different altitudes continued to create turbulence, particularly as the lower winds struggled to keep pace with the stronger currents aloft. The day closed with a temperature of 53.1°F and an additional 0.07 inches of precipitation, painting a picture of a day marked by its rich cloud dynamics and shifting weather patterns, as if the sky itself was playing a game of tag with the wind.
