Peculiar clouds as snow melts away

Wooden pier extending into a calm sea beside a snow-covered beach at sunrise, with gentle waves, pale golden light on the horizon, and soft pastel tones in the winter sky.
Wide view of rolling countryside at sunset, with dark green fields in the foreground and layered clouds glowing orange and gold along the distant horizon beneath a clear blue sky.
Snow-covered path with footprints leading into the distance, bordered by leafless trees, with two dogs standing on the snowy track under a pale blue and pink dusk sky.
Snowy residential street at night with icy, slushy road surfaces and visible tyre tracks, parked cars along the curb, and streetlights reflecting off the wet ice under an overcast sky.
Two smooth, lens-shaped lenticular clouds floating in a blue sky above suburban brick houses with pitched roofs, chimneys, and parked cars visible below.

Super Typhoon Bavi threatens Taiwan. Up to 1,000 mm of rain. . . Wednesday, 8 July 2026
The image shows an intense tropical cyclone over the western Pacific, east of Taiwan and the Philippines. The centre of the system is depicted as a light purple and white vortex with a clearly visible eye, surrounded by a ring of red and orange areas indicating the strongest wind speeds. A white arrow marks the typhoon’s predicted track towards the north-west, in the direction of Taiwan. To the west of the storm lie the Philippines, with the cities of Manila and Cebu; to the north of these lies Taiwan, with Taipei. Further west, the Chinese coast, including Hong Kong, and parts of Vietnam can be seen. The coloured wind map shows predominantly green areas outside the storm’s core, indicating significantly weaker winds. White streamlines illustrate the typhoon’s anti-clockwise circulation in the Northern Hemisphere. The highest wind speeds are concentrated around the eye of the cyclone.
