    Cumulonimbus Montage Above Taipei, Taiwan

      The photo montage above shows the development of a thunderstorm in   
      Taipei, Taiwan, on a very hot, late summer afternoon. Initially, I   
      could see a large, cumulus cloud building to the southeast of my home,   
      and then a  pileus hood formed atop it. Soon afterwards, this   
       cumulonimbus cloud rapidly expanded, eventually climbing to the   
       tropopause to form an eye-catching  anvil. On the penultimate   
      photo (taken at 6:05 p.m. local time), the entire cloud is illuminated   
      by the setting Sun, and  mammatus clouds appear beneath the anvil’s   
      golden glow. This mesmerizing storm complex was visible to almost   
      everyone in northern Taiwan. Photos taken on September 9, 2021. Click   
       here to see a video of the anvil cloud development.
