Here's one lonely cumulus cloud on an October afternoon near Peterborough, Ontario. This picture pre-dates global warming, can you tell?

Wolves,

Shuggee, I hope this is ok. I am unable to add attachments on NW so have linked to the pic I wish to enter this month.

IMO it reflects the 2nd half of May 2006 perfectly, a showery/thundery sky. It has a green tinge in the cloud which I didn't see at the time.

[Thundery wintry showers]

I photographed so many storm clouds during May 2006 that I found it very difficult to choose three entries.

Here's the three I chose:

Strange cloud effects.

The Leeds thunderstorm of 16 May 2006.

A good sum-up of what the weather was like on Bank Holiday Monday.
