This monster of a cloud formation which dwarfed the land below as storms roamed the area at the time, is a form of cumulus cloud called cumulus congestus.

So hard to make clouds look like you see them ‘in your head’, you did it. Nice.

These are summer clouds for us, so it surprised me to see this one. Then, I checked the date. May is about when we’d begin seeing them, too — and aren’t they marvelous? I love watching them on the days when they billow up quickly.

It’s often worth a visit to the archives. I have a few languishing there myself, and they need to have their own time in the spotlight!

That is a huge cloud. Is that part of the enormous bombogenesis that’s happening in the North Atlantic?

Thank you. Storm Dennis has wreaked havoc across the country, I am thankful I don’t live too close to a river or flood plain.

I understand that very well! Nowadays it is reasonable not to live close to water.

It has been really bad with the flooding for sure this winter. So wet and yet so mild, too, even nature is so confused.
