Altocumulus stratiformis undulatus, also known as a mackerel sky, which reminded Roger Graham Hewstone of the sailor's old proverb; 'mares tails and mackerel scales make lofty ships take down their sails, wary of bad weather ahead'. This example was spotted looking west from Ormskirk, Lancashire, England.
