Cloud spotting guide

Okay most people might know all this ( in practice it's not always that easy) but it might be useful for some.

Thanks Knocker, it will be a useful tool(s) for my wife with her class of 5-7 year olds.

I wonder how many on here have called Ac as Cc. I can't remember when I last saw a good example of the latter. It's not that common.

Shall we put our cloud photos on here for ID?

Could this be Cirro cumulus?

Fantastic cloud iridescence from just after that big storm had passed last december :-)

No that's not Cc ch. Difficult to tell from the photo but either thick Ci or more likely high Ac.

Having read and watched the guide I can not so proudly say that I have. I have messed up Altocumulus with Cirrocumulus. I am ashamed and will try to be better in this now. Thanks for the guide by the way, cool stuff.
