Cloud inversion on Malvern Hills make islands in the sky

Chris Robinson was one of the enthusiastic few who took on the climb to see the unique weather phenomena known as inverted clouds.

Mr Robinson said: “I have climbed the Malvern Hills a couple of times over the festive season.

“It was a crisp morning and the clouds were hanging low so we thought there would be an amazing view from above the clouds.

“Then we saw some photos of people on top of the hills on Facebook and we knew we had to get up there and see it for ourselves.”

The Malvern Hills is the highest point in Worcestershire and, on a clear day, you can see as far as Wales.

Mr Robinson described the view from the Hills: “It was like a different world up there.

“The views were absolutely breath-taking.

“It’s not often you get a view like that and there were a few groups of people up there who had clearly had the same idea as us.”

What are cloud inversions?

The Met Office explains that cloud inversions, also called temperature inversions, occur when a layer of cold air is trapped near the ground.

 The weather experts said cloud inversions can happen year-round but they are most common in the winter.
