Anybody else noticed more 'clouds'?

[JDMFanYo]

I understand there are all these conspiracy theories on planes vs clouds, etcetc.

Saturday through to Tuesday were pretty much cloud free..

Both yesterday and today, the only clouds I have noticed are those formed from the 'vapour trails' left by the planes. A little coincidental maybe, but still

2 things really

1) Are planes causing additional clouds?
2) Are planes somehow acting as a catalyst towards rainfall?

yeah i noticed the skys were cloud free when the planes were grounded , maybe a coincedence?

Same here, however, still cloud free today in the NE so, my conclusions - Coincidence.

Ignoring the fact that today is cloud free.

Yup, cloud free here. A couple of contrails for trans-atlantic flights though.... nice blue sky though!

Been clear blue skies here in Bath for at least a week so far. Most unusual but more likely due to stable high pressure than any conspiracy theory...

There is a hell of a lot of dust over all of the cars at the moment though - very fine and getting thicker. Could be ash I suppose, but more likely down to the dry weather and dust carried around in the wind.

The only conclusion I can come to is that it has something to do with aliens.
