File:Volcanic ash cloud bergen norway.jpg

Hi. There were some concerns on the German Wikipedia about this image. Multiple users claimed it is a rain cloud, not the ash cloud. Sequentially, it has been removed from the German and also English Wikipedia article.

Could you comment on that, please? What sources do you have that this is indeed the ash cloud? Kind regards, --Church of emacs (talk) 17:52, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi. It rains often in Bergen, and that cloud pictured looks nothing like the clouds we normally have, and a stench of sulfur spread over the entire city. The statistics from the Norwegian Metrological Institute shows there was only 4,7 mm of rainfall on that day, and I attest that rainfall was not until the cloud pictured had moved east and away from the city. Also note the statistics for rainfall on the following Saturday, at 32,3 mm. There were no clouds like the one pictured that day. The photo also shows sunlight hitting the houses. I have several other pictures of the sky that day, and I can upload them later (when I get home) so you can see what the weather was like. There was also a news report about this in an article published on the website on one of the local newspapers, but I can't find it now. I'll look for it when I get home. I hope this clears thing up. --stiaand 23:02, 20 April 2010 (UTC +2)

Here's the article from Bergensavisen with a picture showing the same cloud, only taken from the north instead of from the south, as mine. I have also uploaded the other photos I took that day. --stiaand 19:38, 21 April 2010 (UTC +2)

Thanks for the answer and your further research into that matter, I'll mention it on the talk page of the German article. Regards, --Church of emacs (talk) 23:28, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
