Some nice mammatus clouds today

Some stunning mammatus clouds have been spotted in Fleetwood!

"Mammatus" comes from the Latin word "mamma", meaning udder or breast. The pouch-like formations typically appear at the base of cumulonimbus storm clouds and can extend over hundreds of miles. pic.twitter.com/JAjAt3g8X5

The latest on tropical storm Andres

Storm Andres has become the earliest named tropical cyclone on record in the Eastern Pacific.

Although the storm is already weakening, its early appearance before the season has officially started could be a marker for changes in our global climate.https://t.co/Bn4JO7PFPT pic.twitter.com/85YsK1od84

#Andres currently has a potent CB trying to expand over its seemingly-improving LLC. Likely only a temporary uptrend before the environment becomes even more unfavourable, but it would likely stay as a TS at the next advisory if it is able to maintain its current presentation. pic.twitter.com/brv8IzxsHX
