Looking west

Late in the day, looking west, the sky was a jumble of cumuli, moving fast, while in the east the sky was mostly clear.

Spring sunshine, if not spring weather

It looked deceptively bright and spring-like today, with bright sunshine and lots of cumulus humilis and fractus about.

Summery little humilis and fractus in the afternoon.

A scattering

Cumulus humilis and mediocris scattered across the sky, late afternoon. No precipitation.

A warm sunny day with fair weather cumulus humilis overhead. There were seagulls soaring in the thermals above my head - didn't have my zoom lens to get a better shot. The cloud in the middle photo looked a bit like a flying pig to me.

A bright sunny bank holiday afternoon, with lots of fair weather cumulus humilis in all directions.

Once upon a time I'd have taken off across the fields. Alas, no longer possible. The spirit is willing but the body's decrepit.

There was a pleasant warm breeze. The saplings by Manor Farm were being blown about under some cumulus fractus.

Later, I glanced out of the window and noticed this stratocumulus cumulogenitus, spreading out as the sun set.

This was taken with my phone in Ipswich, in a friend's garden. We were sitting in her conservatory when she commented on how fast these cumulus clouds were billowing up. Wish I'd had my camera with me.

The combine driver worked late last night to get this field cut before the rain came in the early morning.

A few fragments of cumulus humilis in the foreground, and on the horizon, cumulus congestus, coloured by the setting sun.

At a high altitude, wavy sheets of cirrostratus. Lower down, cumulus humilis.

Hazy morning

Not much blue sky to be seen this morning, though the sun was shining, because of a layer of cirrostratus. It cleared later.

Sunny October afternoon

Hardly any rain for weeks, and a summery sky in October at Pin Mill, Suffolk.

Two kinds of cumulus

In the distance, cumulus congestus. In the foreground (top of the picture), cumulus humilis.

Lines

A layer of altocumulus radiatus with some contrails above cumulus humilis, all blown into lines by the wind.

High ice

A layer of grainy cirrocumulus (formed of ice crystals) above scattered cumulus humilis.

Cumulus humilis

Mostly blue sky.

Bright sunny day

Scattered clouds

Mostly fine, some showers, cold wind.

Clear sky, cold wind

Cold wind all day.

Some sun

March blew in

Another windy day. Plenty of cumulus humilis, and altocumulus floccus (the small blobby clouds) later in the afternoon.

Stratocumulus

Cotton wool sky

Flock of cumulus humilis over Martlesham Heath, Suffolk. No precipitation.
