Is Chiribiquete tepui waterfall mist happening right now?

As of today, peak season now, through ~October 15. Earth Exhibit tracks the live conditions and flags it the moment it is on.

Seasonal waterfalls that pour off the quartzite-sandstone tepuis of the Serranía de Chiribiquete produce long falling curtains of water that often fragment into fine mist before reaching the forest floor.

The result is dramatic mist plumes and localized cloud formation around tepuy summits, most visible during the regional wet season and from aerial or distant river vantage points.
