So, what exactly were those weird clouds?

A number of Islanders have emailed in pictures of unusual cloud formations over Jersey as the storm moved up from Brittany.

We have even received one which looks a bit like a shark.

But it was the wavy band of low cloud which caught most people’s eyes.

According to Jersey Met, it was a roll cloud, or volutus, which are associated with thunderstorms and are a low, tube like cloud formation detached from the main cloud above.
