Black and white photo of a huge oval-shaped cloud, with other wispy clouds around it, over a barren grass field.
Christoph Stopka in Westcliffe, Colorado, captured this stunning view of a #lenticularcloud last Thursday. Thank you, Christoph! ☁️📸

Is this a #lenticularcloud

Did you see this lenticular cloud while visiting the #KahukuUnit of Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park last week?
A #lenticularcloud is a smooth, lens-shaped cloud that forms when strong winds flow over mountains (in this case, likely Mauna Loa Volcano) often looking like a flying saucer! 🛸 🌬️🌋

As the sun is setting, it illuminates a full moon rising above pale yellow lenticular clouds agains a darkening blue sky. There are silhouettes of trees and mountains at the bottom of the image. Carson Valley, Nevada

A snow clad mountain looms behind forested headlands and gray, choppy waters. White clouds stretch across the blue sky and a small, oval cloud caps the mountain.

Screenshot from the German late-night news program Tagesthemen (broadcast of Sep 21, 2025): Meteorologist Sven Plöger points toward a striking, layered cloud formation – an Altocumulus lenticularis shaped like a giant, smooth flying saucer stacked in the sky. In the background, mountains stretch across the horizon in a panoramic view of the foothills of the Alps. The photo was contributed by a viewer of the program. (Image: h/t and shout-out to Rainer Staib for this impressive photo 👏) Also h/t to Sven Plöger, our favorite weather explainer – or as we say in German: unser liebster ‘Erklärbär’ (our favorite explainer-in-chief) 👍🫶

I got very excited about this cloud today. Hoped it would go to a proper #flyingsaucer style #lenticularcloud. But it didn’t. Still it was entertaining. Evolved and changed rapidly. #Clouds #Meteorology

I've lived near this mountain for over a year now and have always wanted to see a lenticular cloud over it, well today it finally happened 🎉 #lenticularcloud #mountain
In the background is Mt Rainier, the upper slopes snow covered and topped by a lenticular cloud. The lower slopes are dark and forested. The skies are blue with cloudy streaks. In mid distance is a row of trees with a row of white-plastic-covered round hay bales. The foreground is a field of rapeseed in flower.

Next week I’ll be snowshoeing to a hut with friends for an overnighter.
The view of Mt. Rainier (Tahoma to the locals) is one reward, yet so are the cloud formations that the mtn’s weather attracts.
Be just as weird. Stand out. Stand up.

It’s always a little (read: a lot) disappointing that Mt Baker (Kulshan) isn’t as conducive to lenticular clouds as #MtRainier (#Tahoma)… #Seattle-ites blessed with yet another beauty of a show this evening!

I took this a little while back. Lenticular clouds to the east of Tucson. Floating biscuits. ☁️ 🪶 🌱
