Mammatus clouds refer to distinctive puffy clouds that often indicate the arrival of thunderstorms
An overcast sky recently stunned a few residents in Argentina with its strangeness and sheer beauty. A viral video shows a sky covered with clouds that look like cotton balls hanging in the air. These unusual type of clouds are known as Mammatus clouds. They occurred over Casa Grande, Córdoba on November 13, 2021.
Mammatus clouds refer to distinctive cloud formations that are set apart by a bunch of protrusions or bulges emerging from the base of another cloud. These clouds are usually formed at the base of large cumulonimbus clouds and are associated with thunderstorms. The presence of mammatus clouds often indicates the arrival of heavy rain, lightning and even hailstorms.
The clip was uploaded on YouTube with a caption that read, "Late Saturday afternoon the sky was covered with these unusual clouds that made us feel as if we were trapped in a vivarium, then came the strong storm with lightning, winds, and hail. We were lucky to have been there to capture this strange phenomenon, which may be a product of weather manipulation."
On YouTube, the video has been viewed more than 10,000 times.
