Cumulonimbus with mammatus

Cumulonimbus with mammatus clouds are usually seen during thunderstorms. Mammatus (literally "breast-like clouds") are pouch-like clouds formed by sinking air seen on the underside of a thunderstorm's anvil.

Ball lightning is often seen in combination with this cloud formation.
