Default What's the name of this cloud?

Hello,

Actually it's a plain cumulus cloud with a very thin Sc cloud above it
|(I've seen dozens of those today myself), which creates the anvil look. The
cumulus cloud has a vertical height of no more than 50-100 metres, and is
located just underneith the inversion (located around 2km). Today the
weather in The Netherlands was totally stable and temperatures were around
20°C.

That's a Cumulonimbus cloud with an anvil top.
Look out for thunder, lightning - and torrential rain!
Your temperatures today must be much higher than our lousy 10C.
