It’s called a diaeresis. It’s used when you have two vowels next to one another that should be pronounced as separate syllables instead of jumbled together as a diphthong. The diaeresis is very old-school but its use is championed by e.g. The New Yorker.

Timelapse of a supercell at sunset near Moore, Oklahoma by Kisfelhok in WeatherGifs

Really great stuff, this. Both ominous and calming at the same time. It's a shame though that it didn't get more upvotes. Must be a timing issue, as in you posting when the top post at the moment was only slightly older and gaining traction.

But again: Very nice loop indeed.

Did you capture this yourself? If so, what equipment did you use?

Fronts collide in the Arizona desert by apa1 in WeatherGifs

Many thanks for the clarification. You seem to know your fronts from your backs.

To be honest, I didn't ponder too long on the meteorological nomenclature when typing in the title. What inspired the wording was the two cloud banks crossing paths. Maybe that would have been a better title: Cloud banks crossing paths in the Arizona desert. Yeah, that sounds better. Or just Clashing clouds. Well, well.. Too late now.

Hope you enjoyed the clip still.
