Today there was a stable time, constant during the whole afternoon, quite sunny with some scattered clouds. However at the sunset the presence of clouds has slightly increased becoming wider, covering more oktas and giving more evident signs of a low pressure. Specificly, these clouds could be Stratus (at a height of almost 2-3 km) with some Altostratus (at a higher height). In fact, the weather forecast speaks about an anticyclone throughout all Italy. 

WIND
Generally, during the afternoon, the weather was cool with some windy gusts. But around the hour indicated the winds have become more moderate and locally cooler. The wind speed was between 3-7 knots and refered to the Beaufort Scale was a Light Breeze.

Today in the sky a very wide dark cloud could be clearly noticed. However at the same time there were some sun's ray throughout certain clouds. This big and wide cloud covered a lot of oktas and it was almost a Nimbostratus (at a height of about 1 km) or a Cumulonimbus (at a height of about 0,5-3 km). Surely there are evident signs of low pressure. The weather forecast says that today there was the same anticyclone.

WIND
In spite of the presence of the big dark cloud, today the air was very warm and nice. There have been a lot of blasts of wind, but they were warm blasts, then they didn't influence so much the weather. Talking about knots, the wind speed was about 8-12 knots that linked to the Beaufort Scale is equal to a Gentle Breeze.]]> 2017-11-03 22:58:55 UTC https://padlet.com/d_flamminj/pz0uue1xqj0g/wish/203489211 d_flamminj https://padlet.com/d_flamminj/pz0uue1xqj0g/wish/203490902 CLOUDS
Today the sky is fairly clear. There aren't a lot of clouds and the few that are there don't cover so many oktas (maybe about level 2, one fourth of the sky). The weather is sunny and from all of these resaults we can deduce that there was high pressure. Precisely, the clouds are Cumulus (at a height between 1-2 km). 

WIND
Due to the limpid sky and the high pressure, there were not a lot of wind or other weathering, it was pretty calm and sunny. The air was warm despite of the season and the month. A really nice and cool day without any kind of alarming clouds or strong blast of wind. If we have to identify this wind, it would be about 1-2 knots, also less, and in the Beaufort Scale a Light Air or a Calme State.

Today the sky is half covered by the clouds. On the one hand it is full of white clouds that leave some sun's rays pass throughout them, on the other hand there's a very clear sunny sky. So we can certainly say that clouds cover enough oktas, at about level 4 (half of the sky) and that there is a high pressure, influenced by weathering too. I think we are talking about Stratus (at a height between 2-3 km) or Stratocumulus (at about 3 km). Then, there is a very nice time.

WIND
There's not a strong wind, a very light breeze, linked to the presence of clouds in the sky. But actually it is pretty calm. Referring to knots, it's about 2-6, a way between a light air and a light breeze in the Beaufort Scale.

Considering the weather of today, a bigger cloud came back in the sky covering more than half of the sky, even a little bit more than three fourth oktas, so about level 6. This type of cloud is called Stratus (at a height of 2-3 km) and Nimbostratus (at a height of 1 km). The sun is almost covered by this big grey cloud.

WIND
Instead of other days, today the wind was colder and stronger. There were big windy blasts that influenced the weather causing a Low pressure. It was very colder respect the weather forecast and the last days. The speed of this kind of wind was about 9-14 knots, so watching to the Beaufort Scale it's like a way between a Gentle Breeze and a Moderate Breeze.]]> 2017-11-04 01:10:38 UTC https://padlet.com/d_flamminj/pz0uue1xqj0g/wish/203495161 d_flamminj https://padlet.com/d_flamminj/pz0uue1xqj0g/wish/203495764 CLOUDS
Today in the sky a lot of scattered clouds are come back, giving space to the sun, so the weather was quite sunny. Despite of the sun, the clouds always cover almost thre fourth oktas, maybe also less, around the level 6. This kind of clouds is called Cumulus (at a height of 1-2 km) and show that there is an inclination to a high pressure. 

WIND
Linked to the clouds in the sky, the wind was calmer than yesterday, but always a bit strong: sometimes there are weak gusts of wind, at about 4-7 knots, equal to a Light Breeze on the Beaufort Scale.]]> 2017-11-04 01:27:02 UTC https://padlet.com/d_flamminj/pz0uue1xqj0g/wish/203495764 d_flamminj https://padlet.com/d_flamminj/pz0uue1xqj0g/wish/203496301 CLOUDS
Today the sky was fully covered by the clouds, but by clouds not very dense that allowed to the sun to pass throughout them making this day very sunny. Talking about oktas, the level was about 7 becaus it was an entirely clouded sky and the clouds were surely Stratus (at a height of 2-3 km). For all these reason and the weathering, we can say that the pressure started again to become lower, e.g. becoming low pressure.

WIND
This day there was almost the same quantity of wind and the speed was about the same too. In fact there were some windy blasts, not too cold, at about 4-7 knots, numbers that on the Beaufort Scale correspond to a Light Breeze. In my opinion a really nice fresh day]]> 2017-11-04 01:40:35 UTC https://padlet.com/d_flamminj/pz0uue1xqj0g/wish/203496301
