Bright white

Bright white cumulus scattered all over the sky.

Variety

A bright sunny day with an assortment of clouds.

Low level cumulus and high level cirrostratus.

More low level cumulus and higher wisps of what looks like altocumulus.

Low level cumulus, some altocumulus, and a milky veil of cirrostratus.

Thin streaks of high altocumulus radiatus, tinted peachey-pink by a setting sun.

Wet again

Fast-moving fragmented pannus clouds below a layer of altocumulus on a showery day.

Thousands of gallons of rain

It rained today.

To the coast and back

Drove to Clacton today. Saw some cumulus congestus on the way. The sea was flat with faint clouds in the distance. It rained on the way home. The rainbow was near Harwich. By evening, there was a light sandwich in the sky.

After it thawed

Calmer weather - no more snow.

Active sky

There was so much going on in the sky today that I didn't get much work done. Every time I looked out of the window, there was another photogenic cloud.

Cumulonimbus Incus - a big one

Snow showers all day. This was taken late afternoon. Click on the image for a larger version.

I spotted this from my window. It's a cumulonimbus with an anvil. "Incus" is Latin for anvil, a characteristic shape of this enormous cloud, which holds a staggering amount of water. The flattened top is formed from ice crystals at the top of the troposphere, where it can't go any higher. These clouds can be up to 11 miles high.

The cloud was to the south-west, probably over Felixstowe and Harwich.
