It was a truly remarkable day in my neighborhood this Sunday, as if the weather itself knew that NOAA 18 and 19 would send their final signals. We had our first summer storm since Friday in a typical central Florida pattern - sunshine and heat, followed by sudden clouds and patches of rain.
I love summer storms in Gainesville because they feel the same as summer storms on the island of Hvar in Croatia. As shown in these photos, one begins to walk down the street under perfect blue sky, and just thirty minutes later, the first innocent puffs of white clouds travel above, followed soon by their older, grayer and heavier companions. And then, for a brief moment, all the birds and cicadas are suddenly quiet, before the first sounds of thunder in the distance. Ancient oaks with their Spanish moss lace and tall pines among patiently wait for the first drops of rain.

After days of chill and even snow in parts of Florida, today was a bright, sunny day and less cold. Older residents tell me that freezing temperatures rarely happened in the past. Most indigenous plants survived, but on my walk I observed that many non native shrubs have wilted under icy rain a few nights ago. Birds flocked to my feeder and some strange cloud formations passed in the afternoon.

After Storm Éowyn. More wind is on it's way and the sky tonight has layers of higher denser cloud with lower and thinner fast moving cloud that race by across the faces of Jupiter and Venus. The breeze is getting stronger and by the time the pass has finished the clouds part like theatre curtains to reveal more of the planets and the winter constellations of Orion and Taurus. The idea of grabbing my telescope briefly floats in my head but it's quickly squashed by the processed pass of NOAA 15 more where I can see more weather from the west and pushing up from the south. Like the life span of a cloud the moment has gone.
