so in the us, weather usually moves west to east, especially in michigan because of lake effect weather and I remember one day in college it was really sunny and nice but my friends and I were like "hm. something is. wrong?" and it took us so long to notice but the clouds were moving east to west and most of my friends at the time were meteorology majors and I mentioned it and we all thought it was really neat bc that doesn't happen very often and the fact that such a subtle environmental change had all of us subconsciously feeling like something was wrong
How? Why were they moving backwards? What freak of weather did that?
Just happens sometimes. Rarely enough around here that I remember it making the local news. Wind shear, backdoor cold fronts, location, etc. can cause it to happen, but not often due east to due west like it was that day
For example, hurricanes usually move east to west because of the air current that creates them comes from the tropics
