A strange meteorological event in the skies above Sydney Australia at the weekend known as a ‘shelf cloud’.
Several kilometers wide, it brought heavy rain, high winds and thunderstorms.
Tsypical.

A Fallstreak Hole or ‘Hole Punch Cloud’ spotted last year in the skies above Victoria, Australia .Wikipedia sez:
Such holes are formed when the water temperature in the clouds is below freezing but the water has not frozen yet due to the lack of ice nucleation. When ice crystals do form it will set off a domino effect, due to the Bergeron process, causing the water droplets around the crystals to evaporate: this leaves a large, often circular, hole in the cloud.
Now for yeh.

The formation is not yet officially recognised as a distinct cloud formation by the World Meteorological Organisation but a petition filed by the Cloud Appreciation Society may soon change that.
