Nuscent Clouds?

[Paul_1978]

Hi all, I was watching Weather for the Week recently, and Louise Lear used the term "nuscent clouds". 

The spelling is not right as I've Googled it (and various other spellings) and have been unable to see what she meant. 

Many ideas?

Are you sure the word was 'nuscent'?

I can see the possibility of her using the word nascent to describe the formation of cloud cover.

nuisance ?

Perhaps 'Noctilucent clouds'?

Are you sure it wasn't just nuisance clouds?

Thanks for all the replies. It definitely wasn't "nuisance" and I'm 99% sure it was "nuscent". I'll have to see if she is on Twitter and ask her ;-)

Never heard of that categorization of clouds before, Noctilucent being the obvious but maybe she was referring to iridescence clouds?

Alternatively, she may simply have mis-spoken.

I'm beginning to think she did. I'll have the forecast on the recorder - I'll see if I can put it online. 

Yes.....I've got the nightly BBC weather for the week on series link! Tell me I'm not the only one.

If she did, she was way out. They are only seen during the summer season.
