How do lenticular clouds form?
Lenticular clouds can be formed when wind blows perpendicular to a mountain range, hill, or even a tall building.
This causes the moist, dry air layer to rise and cool, leading to the cooling phenomenon expanding the surrounding environment, reaching a certain temperature to form dew – it can no longer hold water vapor as before, leading to the formation of a cloud. “UFO” clouds (Unidentified flying object).
In particular, these lenticular clouds are always motionless and can hardly be moved by other winds.
Are lenticular clouds dangerous?
Lenticular clouds are a threat to aviation safety. The up and down movements of moist and dry air layers can cause turbulence.
Therefore, pilots try to avoid these waves because the presence of lenticular clouds means that there can be severe turbulence.
