Fog Bank, July 15, 1023

Hello Weather Brains listeners, you can find the links for the Fog Bank at skydaver.blogspot.com

My first two picks this week come from Earth Science Picture of the Day.  The first is a roll cloud, and the second is a sun pillar.

I'd been wondering about how analog minimum/maximum thermometers work, so I found a manufacturer that sell them. That comes in as my fifth pick
