I found this an interesting and unusual cloud formation:

Cirrus Uncinus. Quite common. But quite a beautiful pic.

AC lenticularis by the looks of it.

Spotted this one two days ago:

It just sat there in between very FEW CU. With its slanted stripes — sorry for the extremely crappy picture — it looked a little bit like a roll cloud albeit a very short one. What causes this? The weather was relatively benign, the worst part of the METAR was TEMPO 15G25.

I agree, Cirrus uncinus or mare’s tails in the UK

What are these?

Just cirrus clouds.

LDZA LDVA, Croatia

What are these? They are “tails” coming out of the bottom of quite small clouds. There doesn’t seem to be enough stuff in those clouds to cause rain (vigra)

An very old fig tree did not make it :(. And some branches of other trees broke off. But nothing compared to the damage created by the snowfall his winter. 2023 goes into history as a memorable meteo year across the globe, and the year’s not over yet.
