What is shelf cloud?

These clouds are a type of arc clouds, and they form when there is high humidity in the atmosphere, with strong activity of rising and falling winds at the same time. These clouds are usually accompanied by light rain, but they are often characterized by strong winds and strong storms.

This type of cloud is characterized by its unique shape and dark color, which results from the rapid condensation of water droplets due to differences in air temperatures, leading to the formation of giant clouds that freeze and acquire a striking color.

We leave you with these wonderful scenes that have been documented.
