Explane this if you can?

It is clear that there is only scant upper clouds so I don’t understand how a funnel cloud could have formed. If it was a horizontal ‘cloud’ then it surely must be a contrail being lit by a low sun.

It looks (at the end) like it has two trails like a jetliner but so do funnel clouds. So it is hard to tell. The photo below shows a closeup of a funnel and this twin trails effect is seen.

Funnels are formed from large but decaying cu-cong or cu-nimb and I have seen several of them myself. There are no cumulus class clouds in your photo, only streaky cirro-stratus.

I took this photo on a day with lots of cumulus congestus that never reached the cu-nimb level. The Cu over-developed and flattened out covering the sky.

Please don’t google ‘chemtrails’ or you’ll lose braincells. Its a particularly stupid conspiracy theory that ignores the facts about aviation. You’ll be surprised how many brain-deads there are out there. There are much more convincing conspiracy theories than chemtrails!

Moggie; I don’t think even an tin foil hat will help!

ive seen them start when they have been out to sea or even up in the mountains but aint never seen one touch down..

had a look Moggy, theres lots and lots on there lol. i just liked the 2 tone effect.

Here was I thinking this was the start of a good old Tornado.

Not quite formed yet and only does any damage if it touches down.

Spectacular to see one with your own eyes.

Google ‘chemtrails’ and all will become clear

Moggy 😮

Looks like the top part of the trail is not being lit by the low sun by being in the shadow of the other cloud.
