Some unusual clouds


I am not usually someone who watches the sky and spots clouds, but this formation caught my eye and I managed to snap it quickly on my phone. I don't recall ever seeing such clouds before.

It seems that thes are called mammatus as in "breast" clouds. It seems that they are often associated with storms forming immediately afterwards for a short time. We certainly had had a heavy rainstorm just before I saw these and they did not persist for long.

Anyways, I did say this blog was for things that caught my attention so this definitely qualifies.
