The peculiar cigar-shaped cloud is called an altocumulus standing lenticular cloud (ASLC) and is created when winds encounter a steep barrier such as a mountain range, Nasa explained in a statement.
BBC Weather Watchers have been treated this week to red skies at night in the mornings - and unusual cloud formations. Lenticular clouds could be seen widely across Scotland over the past few days.
A lenticular cloud covers the summit crater of Mayon Volcano, Philippines.. As air travels along the surface of the Earth, obstructions are often encountered, including natural features, such as mountains or hills, and artificial structures, such as buildings and other constructions, which disrupt the flow of air into "eddies", or areas of turbulence.

Cirrocumulus lenticularis is a type of cirrocumulus cloud. The name cirrocumulus lenticularis is derived from Latin, meaning "like a lentil". [1] Cirrocumulus lenticularis are smooth clouds that have the appearance of a lens or an almond. They usually form at the crests of atmospheric waves, which would otherwise be invisible.
A pileus (/ ˈ p aɪ l i ə s /; Latin for 'cap'), also called scarf cloud or cap cloud, is a small, horizontal, lenticular cloud appearing above a cumulus or cumulonimbus cloud. Pileus clouds are often short-lived, appearing for typically only a few minutes, [ 1 ] with the main cloud beneath them rising through convection to absorb them.
The Palisades Fire, the Eaton Fire and others have burned more than 40,000 acres across Los Angeles since Jan. 7 and destroyed thousands of buildings, including at least a dozen K-12 schools, such ...
The list of cloud types groups all genera as high (cirro-, cirrus), middle (alto-), multi-level (nimbo-, cumulo-, cumulus), and low (strato-, stratus). These groupings are determined by the altitude level or levels in the troposphere at which each of the various cloud types is normally found. Small cumulus are commonly
