Details:
It's really hot in south of Spain (Europe) right now, the last days we reached 43°C (109°F) and we have a lot of calima in our skies.
Yesterday we were running a stargazing activity with clients when we saw a quite unusula phenomenon. Just after the sunset we saw a really bright and rare clouds over it. I inmediatly remembered those pictures of noctilucent clouds in spaceweather.com, but I know it is really really dificult to see then here, so I though it was the dust of calima creating a kind of similar visual efect.
I know calima does not used to be very hight in the atmosphere... except days with a high temperature, like this one... so maybe the dust was so high that the light from the sun iluminated it being in a hight altitude, creating this kind of "dustilucent cloud" :)
What do you think?
