I didn't know mackerel clouds were rare, I didn't even know they had a name I see them all of the time and just assume it's normal and don't think about it

[@bighotmen2668]

In the Midwest, I see them frequently! I was surprised to see them here.

[@medeajade121]

They aren't in the least bit rare. They are one of the most common clouds types and also don't necessarily predict approaching storms. Sometimes they appear simply because there is a pressure or temperature change approaching. This video is very basic and generalized. Still, altocumulus clouds can be beautiful, particularly at sunset.

They don't always mean storms. Sometimes they just mean that low pressure is approaching. This video is pretty general and makes quite a few mistakes.

[@kitterzy]

85°C? That’s 185°F! When is the stratosphere that hot? I think you mean it has to be lower than *-85°C* because polar stratospheric clouds require very cold temperatures. Wikipedia was an easy fact check.

[@therightquestion2983]

Kitterz I actually have pictures of those clouds in Southern California and Southern Utah. A lot of them... But only after massive chem trailing

[@kitterzy]

Dawn A I don’t see any of that in my area of Michigan. I know a very long time ago there were experiments in cloud seeding, but much of that never really worked out (Vietnam War). I can’t imagine it’s extremely prevalent-but I’ll be long dead before any govt data would be declassified if there are any experiments like that.

[@tylunsherod]

Here in Oklahoma we get the mammatus clouds usually after a thunderstorm. I remember seeing it one time after a tornado around sunset when I was a kid. The clouds were black and the sky light from the setting sun was red, giving it an ominous but spectacular view.

[@janetmcneice6246]

I would have loved to have seen that, I bet it was amazingly beautiful

[@yuniyonson]

I have been lucky enough to see the Mammatus clouds three times here in Lutherstadt Wittenberg, Germany.......the first time was in 2002 this was a precursor to a huge storm, which lifted the garden shed of off its moorings ...The second time was a very gentle start to the clouds....gradually building up toward the West at Sunset....which then coloured the Mammatus, the most amazing colours of Pink, Purple and peach...the Third time was during the day...and the highlight was to see about 10 Storks....flying in front of the coming Storm.

[@ianrothenberger2929]

June Johnson I always thought they were normal, I’ve seen them 8 times living on the coast of Texas. The gulf brings many storms, but oddly enough they are never before a hurricane. It’s strangely terrifyingly quiet before a hurricane and you can sense the danger.

[@Content_Bunny]

At 2015or 2014 My Brother and I saw this weird cotton clouds and it turned out to be a rare cloud Mammatus cloud

[@gothmamasylvia462]

I live about 50 miles east of the Rocky Mountains, and see lenticular clouds often. In summer I've seen mammatus clouds as well. They usually appear after a storm.

[@4BillC]

I've seen the shelf clouds once as I was driving home. There was a pretty good storm that came with it, though nowhere near what I thought. I definitely pulled over and took pictures!

Another one you missed was virga. It appears as rain but never touches the ground. Super saturated clouds rain into the atmosphere but super heated ground evaporates the rain before it can reach ground.

[@moomoo3031]

Virga is so beautiful, but it's frustrating when we need rain so much...wonder if you could drag a big sponge thru it with a helicopter...

[@JJDigitalartStudio]

You must also live in the desert.

[@moomoo3031]

northern NM, Taos county, high desert, lots of virga. One time near Albuquerky, at sunset, the virga was purple and pink.

[@JJDigitalartStudio]

[@Freeisbetter86]

[@samateus1987]

Have to say I've seen most of these living here in Winnipeg Manitoba. I've even seen the swirling start to a tornado that didn't get anywhere close to the ground, Shelf clouds that pelted my workplace with rain so heavy we couldn't see down the block, Mammatus clouds, Massive Cumulonimbus overtaking and expanding into neighboring ones, lightning dancing across the sky in the middle of the night from a mostly-glass living room. This took me back to my high school days, after I created a science fair project that earned me a bronze medal in my province. Thank you for the walk down memory lane.

[@ayaseyukiya4515]

I feel like I'm on cloud nine watching this. So strange but beautiful.

[@jasonirelan1737]

You should talk about fog, which is what we get when clouds are on the ground and it's not a tornado. Take care and God bless.

[@itsaiden_mate6234]

Jason Irelan i think we know what fog is

[@shelbycantrell1222]

I have seen the mackerel clouds before, and also the cumulonimbus clouds and a small shelf cloud. All of these are quite beautiful.

[@ducac-0457]

Back in september 2012, Malta, we had a massive enough shelf cloud to remove all daylight right at 7pm (it gets dark at 9pm) That same thunderstorm produced 300mm of rainwater in 2 full rainy hours. A hunter was struck dead in his car by CtoG lightening too. I was able to witness that all from a church bell tower...

[@shelbycantrell1222]

Duca C_04 wow. My question is...how? That's honestly terrifying!

Then i awaited the storm to stop.... 2 hours of heavy downpour i saw all from a small window about 2 stories unferneath the bells in yhe bell tower

Polar Stratospheric clouds only form when certain conditions are met: 1) the temperature must be below 85°c. ....um .... it's always less than 85°c, isn't it?

Yeah because 85°C is like 180°F right?

[@Andreas4696]

He probably meant negative 85 celsius.

[@chriskeentechnician]

LegendMeadow I’m trying to figure that one out too lol. 85 degrees C is only 25 degrees C short of the boiling temperature of water! 🥵 lol. Must be -85 degrees C, or -121 degrees F. Doing a quick google image search, you’d typically find -85 degrees C about 80km above the earths surface

[@danieldeal5101]

Don't listen to what the narrator said about mammatus clouds. Every supercell thunderstorm has those on the trailing end of the storm. They are never present in the leading front or sides of these storms. Very rare do you see mammatus clouds in plain thunderstorms. Plus they're normally way up, 10's of thousands of feet usually. Way above the level of cloud height typical thunderstorms form. Crazy isn't it?

[@danieldeal5101]

Go to KZbin and type in 2013 el reno tornado. It's the biggest tornado ever recorded in the world. With a base of 2.6 miles wide and wind speeds of 296 miles per hour. Some of the photes and/or videos of this massive supercell show the mammatus clouds on the trailing end ofthe storm. Watch any video about supercell thunderstorns and you'll see that they all have those strange but intriguing looking clouds.

[@ducac-0457]
