Altocumulus stratiformis undulatus, also known as a "mackerel sky", spotted in the morning over Banqiao District, New Taipei City, Taiwan
Altocumulus, which in this case, reminded Lisa of a description that these were "buttermilk" clouds, because after a taste of buttermilk, the drippings down the cup looked like these clouds. This variation was spotted over San Igancio, Baja Sur, Mexico.
