#cumulus

"Distinguished by its dark, flat base, this typical summer cumulus, seen at close range, may change dramatically into a thunderhead. The wind is gusty and a shower threatens."

Cloud and weather atlas. 1944.

Aww thank you!! I also aspired to be like me, and look at me now!! :D Also, Wow, that is a lot of cloud variety!!!

Image one is cumulus humilis, cumulus fractus, and cumulus humilis fluctus!

Image 2 was a little tricky for me, but I think I can nail it down as cirrus spissatus translucidus and altocumulus clouds. Also, light pillar!!

Image 3 looks to be nimbostratus mammatus praecipitatio, with the mamma being in the top right corner.

And image 4 cirrus intortus and cumulus fractus clouds.

I can't tell if in the distance it's snowing or not. But it was cool to see the clouds come in. They came decently quickly.

CHALLENGE!!

this was taken at night with only the moon to illuminate the cloud. I wanna see you give your best shot at identifying it.

[atleast it's hard for me to figure out. Idk about u tho]

Hello!

So! Image 1 has cumulus mediocris with virga and cirrus spissatus clouds.

And for image 2, any other cloud would be more difficult to identify. But in this case? That's altocumulus perlucidus translucidus stratiformis.
