Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather. ~John Ruskin

Godfather of the clouds- Luke Howard

     

    Luke Howard was the man who named and classified all of the clouds we know and study today.  he gave three base classifications Cumulus- for heap of clouds, they are the large fluffy ones we see a lot, Cirrus- thin wispy clouds which are often seen in clear sky's and stratus are the large sheets of clouds on days when they sky is completely white and covered in clouds. Luke lived long enough for his work become mainstream the terms we use are the same from 200 years ago given by him. 

Today: Luke Howard birthday — 28 November 1772 — he gave clouds their names  - Dull Men's Club
