Would you say these are a form of Mammatus clouds? I came out of the house Tuesday morning and was greeting with this odd sky. Facing right.

I don't know. But they're definitely not mushroom clouds. 😉

Question the question. Answer the question. Question the answer...

I wish I knew what I was gonna say :oP

altocumulus?

These look to my eyes to be somewhere between the forms mentioned here. Then again, I am no weatherman.   Did you have a storm?

Regardless, these are neat clouds.

I am not sure how that person's blog applies jerez, but thanks. Neat lifestyle she has there. Yes Tom, there was rain before, which was why I was guessing that. They don't have the overtly puffy look of classic mammatus, but close. Here is a zoomed view with contrast enhanced to bring out the formations.

Oh Kort had a look at the Karlsruher Wolkenatlas.... the one that seems to have the most similarity to your shot is the Altocumulus stratiformis opacus mamma
http://www.wolkenatlas.de/wolken/wo17515.htm
just have a look...smile... so gues mamma is right...

So.. are these "pre pubescent" mammatus?   Just a thought.  Even clouds must develop. : )

LOL @ Tom. Thanks Ulla!

Kort! Honeytly...I was so "jelaous" of looking these clouds....I was hoping you ganna post more....yeah I know the limit of post but...these formations...we don't have clouds like that down here . Perhaps up north around Cairns but not where I live. I know many site I can go and smootch  on them but yours somehow feels closer because we know you andyou  put ithem up without any altering on a shot or just a slight to get a best out of a form to identifi it
Question I like to ask....today upload of mine is a cloud simmilar than that puffy of yours...I think.  Strange thing there was no rain at all, not one dropp. Is this occur at your are as well? ( perhaps this is some australian curse, we need rain  and we just don't get it ..LOL) Big hocus-pocus and no rain out of it?

You had some classic Mammatus clouds there Tunde, gorgeous photo. They don't always have rain accompany them, and are usually seen after a big storm. Haven't had any more here, sorry.
