Thanks. I'm not even sure what it is I'm looking at ! Possibly the leading edge of a cumulonimbus.

You are looking at a shelf cloud

Below is a brief description

“A shelf cloud is similar to lenticularis cloud, but on a much larger scale. A shelf cloud sometimes forms ahead of a severe, long-lasting thunderstorm such as a mesoscale convective system (MCS), multicell or supercell. Cold downdraft air surges out along the surface and lifts the (usually conditionally stable) warm air ahead of the storm up to condensation level. A smooth shelf-like cloud forms, skirting the thunderstorm. The shelf cloud is usually accompanied by a gustfront and sometimes also a roll cloud.”

Many apologies then, I agree they are great but I did not intend to mislead.

Anti mild I do indeed know my clouds if I my say so myself but the description is someone else’s description as I felt the it explained the cloud type with the minimum of fuss

i live in the south east of england and been watching the weather this year, today we had a big storm with brought some shelf clouds and a few days ago there was an amazing storm coming from the west over kent, i will try and get the pics on pc tonite, also last year i took some pictures of some storms that were just north of here about 30 miles and there was 3 storms in a row, amazing never seen weather like this since i was a kid, what got me into storms was in 1992 when kent got hit by an eletrical storm (mum calls them that lol) and there was about 40+ flashes in the sky a min after that i was hooked, who else lives in the south east from the message boards, will come here more often great website tooo

Hi all, heres a few shots i took when on holiday earler in May. Location was Weyborne, near Sherringham, Norfolk (7/5/05) I was camping there with friends, but my parents were staying at Holme (near Hunstanton) They had the full extent of the storm... Large hailstones, alot of lightning etc.

[Paul]

Cracking pics Lee, and welcome to the forum

[LeeKay]

Thanks Paul Took about 30 in total of that storm... the Mamatus clouds were really big. Also I have pics of the clouds that got Stone (near Stoke on Trent) flooded last year, i was roughly 14 miles from Stone at the time. 3 Storms in all passed me by, kinda good to see them at a good distance (even tho ide have prefered to be in the middle of them!!)
