'Towering Cumulonimbus Clouds' signify another 'Approaching Storm' nearing my home in Betws yn Rhos, North Wales - 5.10.2020
Took this dramatic image Mid Afternoon yesterday of an approaching storm arriving from the Irish Sea on the North Wales Coast - two miles distant over the North Easterly village of Rhyd y Foel using a Tamron 28-300MM lens.
Ten minutes later, the clouds were overhead - creating squally conditions with heavy rain and hailstones falling - indicative of this type of cloud.
Towering Cumulonimbus Clouds are a type of Cumulus Cloud associated with thunderstorms and heavy precipitation - producing rain, hail, thunder and lightning. They are formed beneath 20,000ft - are relatively close to the ground and the reason they have so much moisture.
Incoming on a North Westerly airstream, they would have continued gathering much moisture when crossing the Irish Sea before making land.
