Fallstreak hole drew 107,963 Wikipedia views in a day

What this article is

A fallstreak hole – also known as a cavum, hole punch cloud, punch hole cloud, skypunch, cloud canal, or cloud hole – is a large gap, usually circular or elliptical, that can appear in cirrocumulus or altocumulus clouds. The holes are caused by supercooled water in the clouds suddenly evaporating or freezing, and can be triggered by passing aircraft. Such clouds are not unique to any one geographic area and have been photographed from many places.

How this was measured

Views are Wikimedia's own pageview counts for en.wikipedia, filtered to agent=user so automated traffic is excluded. The baseline is the median of the previous 60 days, which is used instead of the mean so that an earlier surge cannot flatten a later one. The multiple is the day's views divided by that median.
