Fith, just in these few cases each year... rain (that thing when water drops fall from the sky). Look at it, these days we have lots of it, the rest of the year it is a flat line.

One can find sources of weather for San Pedro (in reality I believe it must be more for Calama), on the wunderground site. Here is an image of the cloudiness above northern Chile, courtesy from the European Southern Observatory. As you know our observatory is quite close to Chajnantor. If the date and time is not good, refresh your page.
we are using the skywatch software, the best all sky camera software available for astronomy. You can download the last avi sequence made from these images here.
