AO
Maori Cloud Gods ☁️
The Temperamental Cloud Children
These are the sons of Tawhirimatea the Storm God, all born to confound and confuse weather forecasters.
He has clouds for all occasions, from silver-linings to clouding one’s judgment. They’re known collectively as the Ao.
There are at least thirteen of them we know about. We think the others may have blown away. Our knowledge of Oceanic meteorology is pretty misty, but here’s the ten Ao we currently know about:
Ao-Kahiwahiwa
Ao-Kanapanapa
Ao-Nui
Ao-Pakarea
Ao-Potango
Ao-Pouri
Ao-Roa
Ao-Takawe
Apu-Hau
Apu-Ko-Hai
Apu-Matangi
Ao-Whētuma
Ao-Whekere and
Ao-Pakakina.
