Have you ever seen Mammatus clouds?

in #nature7 years ago

On the 30th December 2017, we have experienced the most amazing clouds round about 18:00.

I have never experienced clouds like this in my life and immediately googled it. It is called Mammatus (Mamma or Mammatocumulus), meaning "mammary could" according to wikipedia. It is a cellular pattern of pouches hanging underneath the base of a could, typically cumulunibus rainclouds, although they may be attached to other classes of parent coulds. The name mammatus is derived from the Latin mamma (meaning "udder" or "breast").

Hi there, thank you. It was also my first time, but amazing to see.

I’m an avid cloud watcher and studied meteorology in college. These are a bit more uncommon obviously.
