Rare Kelvin Helmholtz clouds spotted from Highlands

They are named after two physicists – Hermann von Helmholtz and William Thomson, who was also known as Lord Kelvin – studied the physics behind cloud formations.

The Met Office said: “Kelvin Helmholtz clouds, or fluctus clouds, are quite rare.

“These clouds are more likely to be seen on windy days when there is a difference in density of the air.

“They also indicate instability in the atmosphere, which can help identify areas of turbulence for aircraft.”

They added: “This phenomenon, whilst rare, has also been spotted in cloud patterns on Jupiter, within Saturn’s bands and on the sun’s corona.”

Livingston beat Ross County 3-2.
