Just prior to Valentine's Day last year, a heart shaped cloud was spotted on the GOES-East satellite!

It seems some of us got prepared for Valentine's Day a little ahead of schedule, with this unique cloud formation of heart spotted in the southern Atlantic on February 6th 2023.

Have you ever spotted cool or unusual cloud shapes before? Send in your photos via our dedicated uploader for us to feature!
