Terra flies at 10:30 local time. Aqua flies at 13:30 local time. On many days, you can see little puffy clouds at 10:30 blow up into wide-ranging thunderstorms by 13:30. Other times, when a frontal system moves through, the diurnal cycle is disrupted. Before our family trip, I checked this website daily with my daughter. It helped get her psyched for the trip, and taught her what kind of weather to expect. You can check the daily cloud cover on the NASA MODIS Serengeti website:
