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.

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.

Well, to my defence I have to say I was first going to say that
it was a Cumulus in front of a more distant Cumulonimbus.
I thought it was something weird about it...
I guess they don't fly in formation for a long time like that
even in Holland or Belgium?

Pieter,

These pictures seem to show Cumulus (base of
approx 3000ft AGL), lifting and spreading out under
an inversion into Stratocumulus Cumulogenitus at
around 4000 to 4500ft AGL. I'm certain that no
showers or thunder would be associated with this
cloud.

Regards,

Nigel (Romsey, Hampshire... max temp 21.3C today).
