The weather forecast said " Scattered Showers "
You've just set out on a ride and the clouds are
forming on the horizon. Two things are certain in this
situation, if you stop and put on your windproof /
waterproof jacket, it won't rain but if you don't
stop, you'll be soaked to the skin within minutes.
What will the ground be like if it rains?
Wouldn't it be advantageous if you could work out
which clouds were going to rain on you, and which
weren't. '
Well here's how to do just that ...!'
Watch out for clouds
which are as thick at the top as they are at the bottom
these are potential rain droppers.
If the cloud is
taller than the distance its base is from the ground, put
on your waterproofs, it's going to piss - it - down.
If the cloud is
shallow, that is the cloud itself is less high than the
height it is from the ground.
It won't rain.
Fungus - like
outgrowths or eyebrows signify a cloud that's about to
shower.
A cloud which tapers
towards the top, won't drop rain either.
