A bug in the matrix or just the radar? This is no normal cloud-shape, is it?

    looks a bit like convective cells to me! they happen in summer (as long as there is sufficient surface heating to drive the convection) - they’re like bubbles in boiling water.

    It looks like you’ve got high pressure over there though… the high pressure may just limit the cloud heights and intensity of the precipitation?

    Edit: these look a little too big to be pop-up cells, but they still look more convective (instead of frontal). a bit suspiciously too round, though. Do they stay consistent and track across the sky, or are they more bubble-like?

    2nd edit: looks like I’m wrong and it is a radar artefact :) (this is why looking at radar timelapses is more important than just single-frames!)

    3rd edit: it’s not an artefact, it’s a real signal! it’s insects!

      what a roller coaster, and the ominous unexplained insect edit is a cherryon top
