A spectacular cloud hung over the buried

A rare lens-shaped cloud formation, known as altocumulus lenticularis, appeared over Zakopane in southern Poland, sparking interest among internet users. This unusual cloud formation occurs under specific atmospheric conditions, including strong wind speeds at high altitudes and stable air layers. The phenomenon was explained by meteorologist Arleta Unton-Pyziołek from tvnmeteo.pl, who noted that the airflow over mountain ranges created stationary waves, leading to the formation of these distinctive clouds. The event was documented and shared by 'Sieć Obserwatorów Burz' (Network of Storm Observers) on social media.
