Mammatus Clouds Over Mexico

Explanation: When do cloud bottoms appear like bubbles? Normal cloud bottoms are flat because moist warm air that rises and cools will condense into water droplets at a very specific temperature, which usually corresponds to a very specific height. After water droplets form that air becomes an opaque cloud. Under some conditions, however, cloud pockets can develop that contain large droplets of water or ice that fall into clear air as they evaporate. Such pockets may occur in turbulent air near a thunderstorm, being seen near the top of an anvil cloud, for example. Resulting mammatus clouds can appear especially dramatic if sunlit from the side. The above mammatus clouds were photographed last month over Monclova, Mexico.

That looks creepy...

Nifty . Never seen them look so cool.

The color is so surreal!

Looks like the next rainfall is gunna bring some calcium into the soil

Its really not that big of a thing tho. I've seen plenty of things in the clouds. I've seen faces.... buildings.... and much more. They're clouds. They tend to do that kind of thing.

I can't believe that I am the first to say this, and for that matter I can't believe that I am actually going to say this, but:

The picture is udderly beautiful...

Udders?



Looked to me more like the angels were mooning us!

That looks very ool also very weird. I've never seen clouds like that before. If I ever seen those kind of clouds over my town I would be pretty creeped out!

i find those clouds slightly unsettling...

weird i did Meteorology at school and have never seen any thing like it

Yeah, for some reason that image disturbs me.

thats some scary crap

I don't know what it is, but those clouds just are freaky...

Wow. Thats creepy. It shows how small we really are. Its like looking up and seeing another galaxy, with weird planets(like 100% water, ect.) and feeling so small...

I'll go play Halo now.
