For anyone looking at this in the next few hours, the low pressure zone in the Southern Ocean is pretty spectacular.
This WillyWeather website is one of many springing up, bringing an impressive service, on the back of a huge, sophisticated, worldwide monitor/forecast machine.

So apparently from a quick search I got this for "Lua" -
Lua name origin - Australia
The Latin name Lua means - moon
In irish meaning is: Moon
Tongan meaning: unexplained
Hawaiian meaning: unexplained |

I find that totally wonderful
That an Aboriginal language has the same word for moon as Latin.
Akkadian is bubbulu, which might be related.

But doesn't that cloud look artificial?
I'd love to have a screen on my wall showing the satellite weather.
It is just the most beautiful thing. |
