Have you ever seen Mammatus clouds?
On the 30th December 2017, we have experienced the most amazing clouds round about 18:00.
I have never experienced clouds like this in my life and immediately googled it. It is called Mammatus (Mamma or Mammatocumulus), meaning "mammary could" according to wikipedia. It is a cellular pattern of pouches hanging underneath the base of a could, typically cumulunibus rainclouds, although they may be attached to other classes of parent coulds. The name mammatus is derived from the Latin mamma (meaning "udder" or "breast").
