Interesting Clouds
Out in the far eastern wheatbelt for the last few days, I came across these interesting cloud formations one afternoon. I'm not sure what their correct name is.
They were all flat on the top - same altitude, but bubbling down underneath. Several were connical shaped, this one was much more conical (almost a perfect triangle) before I eventually stopped the car to take a photo of it (by which time the bottom/centre tip had gone).
It was humid and semi-stormy, like a storm was building up but then disapated just after sunset.
During the day there were several mini tornado's that I saw taking dust up quite some distance. This makes me wonder if these connical clouds were at all related.
There was also a lot of Virga clouds around.
I can't find them in my cloud books.
Roger.
