Clouds on Titan have now been directly observed for a decade, spanning the seasons from just before southern summer solstice to just after northern spring equinox. In this time period we have observed long periods of nearly constant south-polar clouds, extended periods of cloudlessness, sporadic massive cloud outbursts, geographically-fixed cloud triggering, and a slow progression northward of the highest latitude of observed cloud activity. Each of these types of cloud activities gives important clues into understanding the nature of the meteorological and hydrological cycles on Titan. The response of the clouds to the recent crossing of the equinox provides one of the most powerful constraints into the feedback of the surface and atmosphere. We will report on this decade of change and concentrate on what to expect in the very near future.
