I know you're all hoping I'll eventually run out of weird & boring things to post threads on...not yet lol
It's a Cloud thread woo wee!
1.Mammatus rain clouds
Mammatus, meaning "mammary cloud" so Bewb clouds @fren_tommy

2.Shelf cloud
It's a low-hanging, well-defined, wedge-shaped formation that occurs along the leading edge of a gust front in a thunderstorm. Shelf clouds most often form just ahead of intense lines of thunderstorms-AWESOME!

3. Kelvin-Helmholtz cloud.
An extremely rare phenomenon, where a cloud produces a billowing wave pattern. They occur when there is a strong vertical shear between two air streams, causing winds to blow faster at the upper level than at the lower levels

4. Lenticular Clouds
A lenticular cloud is a lens-shaped cloud that normally develops on the downwind side of a mountain or mountain range. This occurs when stable, moist air flows over a mountain, creating a series of oscillating waves.
Mt Fuji gets them frequently.

5. Fallstreak hole clouds
Also known as hole-punch clouds, these are holes or slashes that appear in layers of mid-to-high-level cloud, when a patch of moisture suddenly starts to freeze and fall.
They can grow as large as 31 miles (50km) in just 1 hour. Top-right is at sunset.

6. Undulatus Asperatus
First new cloud to be recognized in over 50 yrs
Varying levels of illumination & thickness of the cloud can lead to dramatic effects Asperitas clouds tend to be low-lying and are caused by weather fronts that create undulating waves in the atmosphere

7. Supercell storm cloud
Supercells are the least common of thunderstorms. Their destructiveness is 2nd only to hurricanes.
What sets them apart from regular violent storms is a persistent rotating updraft called a mesocyclone, which allows the storm to sustain itself for hours

The Morning Glory cloud
Is a rare & dramatic phenomenon. These clouds occur in the lower atmospheric layer ahead of a storm front & can most often be observed in Northern Australia. These clouds have been observed also over Germany, & The Central US
My CloudTalk is over. Bye!
