Hi All,

Stormy skies over Clarence Town. Last week it was smoke and fire bombers; now water from heaven!

Hi Derek
I believe they are called mammatus clouds that droop out from beneath anvil head storm clouds. Uncommon but eery.

An excellent display of mammatus structure, multiple pockets of colder air sinking from the general layer !
Noice capture for sure too

Thanks, Bob. We've actually seen a few of these in recent times.

Very eerie and intimidating cloud formation. It was probably visible from my place but I'm so enclosed by trees and buildings that I see very little.

Any accessible spots in your area to image with my newly finished set-up. Preferably away from passing traffic (lights and dust) and not frequented by the local louts?
