Whipped into fantastical shapes, these clouds hang over the darkening landscape like the harbingers of a mighty storm.

But despite their stunning and frequent appearances, the formations have yet to be officially recognised with a name.

They have been seen all over Britain in different forms - from Snowdonia to the Scottish Highlands - and in other parts of the world such as New Zealand, but usually break up without producing a storm.

Pretty cool.

Looks like something from a movie.

Yeah they are aye.

Ive even seen these clouds in New Zealand and have had trouble defining them. They are certainly not typical 'cumulonimbus' storm clouds.
