I’ve looked at clouds from both sides now*

The cloud with no name: Meteorologists campaign to classify unique ‘Asperatus’ clouds seen across the world

Experts at the Royal Meteorological Society are now attempting to make it official by naming it ‘Asperatus’ after the Latin word for ‘rough’.

If they are successful, it would be the first variety of cloud formation to be given a new label in over half a century

Also being pushed by the Charades Society to fill the empty “sounds like asparagus” clue niche.
