You don’t have to be a meteorologist or fluent in latin to learn about clouds. Cloud identification can be a hobby that can be enjoyed by people both young and old. Whether you’re a student, pilot, meteorologist, teacher, or a general weather enthusiast, our mission is to help make cloud identification a fun and accessible hobby for everyone.

We think every individual can benefit from learning more about the weather. Even just a little bit. Our hypothesis is that cloud identification is a great way to get people more interested in our ever changing atmosphere. So why not create educational materials and resources revolving around identifying clouds and cloud types?

Between our website, social media accounts, and other tools and products, it’s our hope to make the hobby of cloudspotting fun and educational. Join us on our journey! ⛅

Some people like fishing. Some like playing music. Some like playing golf. All these things are great, don’t get me wrong. But we really (really) like weather. That’s not such a bad thing, is it? Think about it. Weather directly and indirectly affects everything you do, from the clothes you put on every morning, your weekend activities, and your upcoming travel plans.

And that’s why weather excites us. Weather presents us with something different and new each and every day. We geek out about adiabatic lapse rates, zonal flows, and everything in between. We visit the SPC homepage more than we check our Facebook newsfeed.
