Fishscale Clouds

A beautiful morning sky. But according to the phrase《鱼鳞云，雨淋淋》these ‘fishscale’ clouds mean... a typhoon is on its way.

I have also found out that this is called ‘mackerel sky’ and ‘buttermilk sky’. In France it’s ‘ciel moutonné’ (fleecy sky); in Spain ‘cielo empedrado’ (cobbled sky); in Germany ‘Schäfchenwolken’ (sheep clouds), and in Italy ‘pecorelle’ (like little sheep).
