There should be a weather forum on this site!

There are about 13 lines in the skies above us today. Never seen so many. Some are very thick.

I am not sure what to believe about them.
Are they just a weather phenomenon?

It is the best day we have had here for a while[I always say on this forum we live "down South"].

i never heard the word.
everyday is a schoolday on here.
i assumed it was something to do with chemsex, or some other nefarious practice.
and i'm from darn sarf as well, so no excuse.
sounds pretty impressive.
i am become a laundress in effect, so watch the weather closely for hanging out and or arranging over banisters, door frames etc.
it's a good drying day today. whites out.

Con trails with added nefarious purposes? Conspiracy theorists have a field day with this sort of thing I believe.

Chemtrails ? What on earth is that ?

welbeck Fri 12-Apr-24 12:42:03

i assume from reading the OP, it is the white scrapings across a blue sky made by aeroplanes' exhaust vapours ?
ah oh, don't get me started on vaping ! eek.

They look as if a plane has passed by, leaving a trail behind it, as they do.

Except there has been no plane.

There are all kinds of theories about what they are.

Chemtrails was a hoax put out some years ago. They are just larger ^contrails. The trails change according to the humidity and heat.
I live close to Foulness Island. We see lots of weird stuff.

I thought they were vapour trails🤔 They last long after a plane has disappeared, gradually dispersing. I know a conspiracy theorist who covers up to protect against them 🤷‍♀️

Yes this.
I have seen 1 plane this morning. A heavy duty, what looked like old airforce plane. Flying low, which we do get from time to time.
Wouldnt have thought that had anything to do with anything.

I had to look up contrails.

Contrails seem to last around here about 5 mins.
The chemtrails or whatever the proper name is, have been up in sky now for about 2 hours. Most are still there.

So two hours is quite normal?

They are long.
And are criss crossing in some instances.

My daughter had a clear view of the sky, and the planes headed towards the airport, and she got very interested in where the chemtrails came from.

So she looked up all the flights at the airport to see if the incidence of trails matched to flights.

They didn't, so I don't know what they meant and neither did she.

Some say it is to do with weather manipulation.

welbeck Fri 12-Apr-24 13:08:49

wow ! what with manipulation, perhaps there's a link to chemsex after all.
who knows. !

MissAdventure Fri 12-Apr-24 13:11:53

She kept a notepad with all the relevant info on it, and compared spreadsheets of times, flights, weather before and after. smile

It kept her occupied and captured her interest.

Contrails.

The weather manipulation is called cloud seeding.
Some believe it’s the cause of all our recent bad weather.

MissAdventure Fri 12-Apr-24 16:10:26

It's quite interesting when you start to delve into these things.

Jaxjacky Fri 12-Apr-24 16:22:42

There is a conspiracy theory that the government gave us a warm 2020 to make lockdown bearable.

Callistemon21 Fri 12-Apr-24 16:26:30

I've heard of cloud seeding but I thought vapour trails were just that - vapour trails left by high-flying planes.

It's sunny but hazy today so I can only see two.

Perhaps you could check what flights have been... um... flying?

Don't the conspiracy theorists find it odd that, when governments were supposedly spraying us with Covid, vaccines or chemicals, there were hardly any or no trails in the sky? That was because planes were grounded.

Cirrus clouds might look similar too.

BlueBelle Fri 12-Apr-24 16:43:09

I ve always thought they were from aeroplanes too

They are.
Unless you're into conspiracies.

Cloud seeding is not a conspiracy theory.

MissAdventure Fri 12-Apr-24 16:54:46

Neither is weather manipulation, apparently.
Or is that the same thing?

Callistemon21 Fri 12-Apr-24 16:58:48

Cloud seeding is, trying to make it rain when there s drought.

It's used in the USA and other countries but, as far as we're tol, not here any more.
