Pom poms

Towards the end of a sunny day, the sky overhead was filled with fluffy altocumulus floccus.

Cloud metamorphosis

Over the course of an hour or so, this cloud was transformed, though it stayed in more or less the same place, from a streak to what looked like a sheet of snow in the sky, then cloudlets that gradually dispersed.

Mixed picture

After heavy rain last night, there was a lot of stratocumulus today - the edges of sheet of it seen here. Above it, scraps of white altocumulus floccus, whisked up by the wind. In the distance, over the coast, cumulus congestus.

Virga in November

Altocumulus floccus clouds with virga (fallstreaks) trailing beneath on a wet Sunday. The streaks of rain dissipate before they reach the ground.

March blew in

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