Did you know that there was a meteorological day? Yeah, there is, and it is celebrated on March 23... So, catching up, I hope, I'm not yet too late to wish you all a Happy 'World Meteorological Day!'🌌 The first weather organization was called the 'International Meteorological Association' which was founded in 1873. But the name was changed to 'World Meteorological Organization' on March 23, 1950. And the first celebration was observed 11 years later on March 23,1961. And 56 years later in 2017, they added a theme in the commemoration of the event called, 'Understanding Clouds'.☁️ Wow, clouds, one of my favorite sky phenomena!😍 There's no explanation for why they chose that as their theme. I just figured out that it maybe because since the clouds are the most visible things in the sky and always changing, hence it was the focus of their study. You see, the sun rises and sets at the same time every day, as do the moon with the same phases every month... The earth rotates around the stationary sun, and the moon revolves around the earth. But what is changing and has a different course everyday are the clouds which are distributed on three levels within the Earth's firmament.☁️ They act as a curtain or umbrella for the sun's light... And they take the form of canvasses on which the colors of the sunlight's palette are painted. We see beautiful and stunning sunsets and sunrises because of them. Their formations are also a sight to behold, adorning the sky like gleaming jewels. They're also the ones who give the moon a lovely glow, much like a veiled bride. However, they do not only make the sky resplendent but they can also become gloomy and ferocious making the sky threatening... Although these cloud characteristics are influenced by important interconnected factors such as humidity, barometric pressure or air, gravity, and altitude, all of this contributes to the weather and climate that we have, which is often observed on the clouds.🌀 There are a lot of interesting and fascinating facts to learn about clouds. And so the study on these clouds that the Meteorological agency do is very important. It helps us plan our daily activities in accordance with the weather and warns us of impending disasters.☔ We'll be able to tell when it rains or if there's a thunderstorm by simply checking the weather forecast.⛈️ We also know when a typhoon or tornado is on its way. Isn't it incredible that we already know what the weather will be like...?😃 While we marvel at these clouds, it's also fascinating to know Who has the power over these heavenly bodies.... So I just wanted to share this Bible verse with you that may give us inspiration...🌦️ “Listen to this, Job; stop and consider God’s wonders. Do you know how God controls the clouds and makes his lightning flash? Do you know how the clouds hang poised, those wonders of him who has perfect knowledge? Job 37:14‭-‬16 NIV https://bible.com/bible/111/ ☀️☁☁☁☁☁☁☁ ☁☁🍃🍃🍃🍃☁️☁ ☁🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃☁ 🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃 🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃 ☁🍎🍃🍃🍃🐦🍃☁ ☁☁🍃🍃🍃🍃☁☁ ☁☁️☁🍯🍯☁☁☁ ☁☁☁️🍯🍯☁☁☁ ☁☁️👩🍯🍯☁🐝☁ ☁☁️📚🍯🍯☁☁☁️ 🍀🌻🌿🌸🍀🌼🌷🍀 Happy Spring and Summertime Noisepeeps!
