    Thanks for putting a name to that Iancar.I see them regulary, and always wondered what they're called. I often wonder if its the comeragh mountains help form these?

    Been seeing a lot of these here in Loughlinstown too this week, we are on the foothills of the Wicklow mountains. These form downwind of the hill/mountain that made them so if the Comeragh Mountains are upwind then they are the creators.

    If the wind yesterday was coming from the west approx, (I think it was), that would put the cloud downwind of the comeraghs. Thanks supercell.
