Wacky Weather

Mirages: A mirage is the image of an object or a sky where it is not present. This is caused when light is refracted, often mirages are seen on hot surfaces like a pavement or desert.

Mammatus Clouds: Mammatus clouds are odd-shaped clouds that are often seen before a storm. It is still unsure of how they form.

Firewhirls: A firewhirl is what happens when a tornado is spinning too close to a forest fire or it can be a whirl created from too much heat in the area.
