Some miscellaneous cloud photos from my camera roll that I thought would be interesting 😄 The first one looked really crazy in person, the clouds were in that pattern across the entire sky!

Oooh, a lot of variety here!

Image 1 is altocumulus undulatus stratiformis

Image 2 is a little harder for me to tell, but looks to be altostratus undulatus and altocumulus clouds

Image 3 seems to be nimbostratus praecipitatio with stratus fractus pannus, though it's shape did make it look almost like a cumulonimbus!

And finally, image 4 is cirrus intortus.

Great spotting!

I thought I’d lost my lenticularis privileges by moving since they’re terrain dependent but fortunately I’ve started to see them here recently as well :)

Hell yeah!! Glad you got to keep your lenticularis licence!

Cirrus intortus, altocumulus lenticularis with transverse ripples, and cumulus fractus clouds

Great spotting!!

i aspire to be like you. please have some of my favourite pics

Aww thank you!! I also aspired to be like me, and look at me now!! :D Also, Wow, that is a lot of cloud variety!!!

Image one is cumulus humilis, cumulus fractus, and cumulus humilis fluctus!

Image 2 was a little tricky for me, but I think I can nail it down as cirrus spissatus translucidus and altocumulus clouds. Also, light pillar!!

Image 3 looks to be nimbostratus mammatus praecipitatio, with the mamma being in the top right corner.

And image 4 cirrus intortus and cumulus fractus clouds.

Great spotting!!!

Both images have cirrus fibratus intortus, cirrus uncinus, and contrails! Image 1 also has Cirrus spissatus.

Hallo! I was hoping you could help me figure out this type of cloud? I've found that they happen on sunny days. Though I might just notice it then.

Hope these are helpful to tell. :D

These are cirrus clouds! More specifically, cirrus intortus and cirrus spissatus clouds.

Cirrus is a high-altitude cloud, and are more likely to form on warm or hot days. So you're definitely right in your observation!

Great spotting!
