Mammatus Clouds


Like something from a Dr Seuss book, these clouds are named for what they look like: breasts. Immense pendulous bulbs dangle below the main body of these clouds to give them their very distinctive look. What is most amazing is that these clouds appear around the same time as severe weather is about to happen – so they are a good warning system. They can stretch for miles and can last for up to fifteen minutes. No one knows what causes these clouds as yet but many hypotheses exist.

Kelvin-Helmholtz Clouds


These are extremely rare clouds and when they do form they seldom last longer than a few minutes. They are formed by a Kelvin-Helmholtz instability which is when there is a velocity sheer over a continuous fluid (wow – that is complicated!) Interestingly it is this same effect which causes the curved ripples seen in the atmosphere of Saturn. There is no doubt that this is one of the most beautiful cloud formations of all.

Shelf Clouds


Unlike roll clouds, shelf clouds are attached to a larger parent cloud. But, like the roll cloud it, too, is an arcus cloud. They are often enormous and frequently forewarn the coming of a big storm, whereas roll clouds typically do not precede bad weather. Shelf clouds can falsely give the appearance of being a wall cloud (which comes after a storm) but a shelf cloud usually has a ragged bottom.

Roll Clouds


Roll clouds (also known as Arcus clouds) are probably the most frightening to behold. Fortunately if you want to see one of these clouds you can – they form quite frequently in Australia’s Gulf of Carpentaria. Despite its regular appearance in Australia, it is still not truly understood how these clouds are formed.

Lenticular Clouds


Lenticular clouds are lens-shaped clouds forming high in the atmosphere. Because of their very distinctive shape it is not uncommon for people to mistake them for UFOs – especially if they vanish quickly. They make especially grand displays when they form over a mountain top given the appearance of a halo. They usually appear at right angles to the prevailing wind direction.

Noctilucent Clouds


Unlike the similar Polar Stratospheric clouds, noctilucent (or polar mesospheric clouds) occur in the polar mesosphere. These clouds are only visible when the sun is below the horizon and they are composed entirely of ice. They are less likely to be rainbow colored and tend to glisten like crystal due to the level of ice contained in them. Both these and polar stratospheric clouds are good examples of how something simple (like a cloud) can be something incredible merely because of its location in the sky.

Jellyfish Clouds


Also known as virga, these clouds have tendrils hanging beneath them which resemble a jellyfish in the ocean. The effect is caused by water or ice falling from the clouds but evaporating before they hit the ground. These clouds are often seed clouds for rain storms. While these are rare for most parts of the world, they are not uncommon in desert areas and on prairies.

Polar Stratospheric Clouds


These beautiful clouds are formed extremely high in the polar stratosphere. Because they are so high they reflect light from below the horizon which results in stunning displays of color. They are also known as nacreous clouds which comes from “nacre” meaning mother-of-pearl and it is easy to see why. These clouds are especially rare because the stratosphere is typically very dry which prevents clouds of any kind from forming.

Pyrocumulus Clouds


Our previous list included mushroom clouds which are generated through an atomic blast, but they are, in fact, a type of pyrocumulus cloud (fire cloud) so it seemed better to include the whole classification here. Pyrocumulus clouds are, as you might expect, created by intense heating of the air from the surface of the earth. This can either be through a bomb blast or through wildfires. They often have a grey tinge because of smoke and ash involved in the source.

Stratocumulus Clouds


Stratocumulus Clouds are blocks of clouds which appear in waves or blobs – usually with patches of light and dark. They can vary from rather plain looking (a typical gloomy day cloud) to quite stunning – when they form into rolls or waves. The coolest thing about these clouds, however, is that they are usually the reason for crepuscular rays (the appearance of the sun firing rays from one location across the sky) and the halo seen around the moon at night.
