I've been doing some research and I can't find any evidence of the Morning Glory cloud on the Sea of Cortez. Can anyone back this up?

Sadly I can't. But I do recall seeing a youtube video of these clouds in Japan, which is way north of Australia. Jaundiced Zippo (talk) 00:57, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

UK sighting

The report of a UK sighting of a Morning Glory cloud is completely uncited so looks like WP:OR. We really need some evidence for this (a) happening, and (b) belonging in this article, which is about a specific type of roll cloud occurring in Australia, rather than the general roll cloud article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Quaestor23 (talk • contribs) 11:38, 15 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Aboriginal Stories

Roll cloud?

Should Morning Glory cloud be subsumed under Arcus cloud / Roll Cloud? Is seems to perhaps be a specific example or sub-type? Seems a bit silly to have it be a completely separate entry when they seem to be the exact same phenomenon? 50.53.113.32 (talk) 16:24, 15 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Occasional Sightings in Toowoomba Qld Aus

Info moved to Roll Cloud entry as more appropriate.

Satellite photo ???

The first image is probably not a Morning Glory but a single line of clouds on a local convergence North Australian Cloud Lines and similar cloud patterns can be observed in many parts of the world.

See below for an more characteristic photo
