New satellite imagery from Houston, Texas, has revealed clouds forming in perfect alignment with the city's interstate roads. This phenomenon, observed by meteorologists, provides compelling visual evidence for the "urban cloud effect," a concept supported by years of scientific research. The effect is attributed to the heat absorbed and radiated by urban surfaces, particularly paved roads, which can influence atmospheric conditions and cloud formation. AI
