Clouds seem to have unlimited forms. Actually they do have patterns, some are stunning to look at and try to tell (or warn) us about the weather. Let me show you eight types of interesting cloud types in Sabah and learn about their meteorological terms. After this you will be able to read the clouds like a farmer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Lenticular Clouds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes a saucer-shaped cloud hovers like a UFO over the summit of Mount Kinabalu, as if the mountain is wearing a hat. It’s lenticular cloud<\/em>, also known as UFO clouds and Wave clouds. To foodies, it might look like someone spray whipped cream on top of our mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Lenticular<\/a>
Lenticular clouds form when the highly humid warm air flow is pushed upward by mountains to higher point where temperature is low and cause the moisture condensed into clouds. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When local villagers see huge lenticular cloud on Mount Kinabalu, they know a drought is coming<\/strong>, and it’s time to put on their hats and work on the field. The lowland would experience hot days. However, to climbers, it’s freezing cold near the peaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Small<\/a>

Lenticular clouds are formed when warm and humid air flows through the cold mountain top. The air was pushed up and meet the cool temperature higher up, which causes the moisture in the air condensed to form clouds. If more wind keeps feeding damp air to the mountain, more clouds will form and pile on top of each layer like a stack of pancakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
