MetService captures clouds that form in koru-like patterns

Satellite images have captured what appears to be a koru forming in the clouds over New Zealand.

The clouds were captured by MetService passing through Auckland this morning.

The images were taken from 36,000 km.

Last weekend, a Kiwi pilot captured an incredible cloud formation over the South Island.

Pilot Geoff Beckett was flying over the Otago region heading for Invercargill and told the Herald that he had never seen anything more impressive in his aviation years.

He tagged the stunning photo on WeatherWatch.co.nz.

WeatherWatch CEO Philip Duncan tweeted that the image and the cloud formation were “mind-blowing” and “unreal.”

“It’s absolutely mind-blowing Geoff. Amazing! Every layer is so neat and perfectly stacked. I’ve never seen a photo like this in my life!”
