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.
