Pretty sure this is the first time I've seen mammatus clouds twice in one day without any lightning.

Here are some cloud photos I took near Little Wanganui last year, both within a few hours. I was expecting some fireworks, but not so much as a peep.

The next day had a brief morning thunderstorm.

Most of the time, mammatus clouds here do not precede or follow thunder/lightning.

Nice! Obviously there were thunderstorms in the area, but none affected where I was.

I saw mammatus clouds last May after an exciting day of drizzle. Provided an awesome sunset though.

Are they always caused by a thunderstorm somewhere?

Thanks.Yep, where there is smoke, there is usually fire.

I spent a week in the area during October about 4 or 5 years ago. There was a thunderstorm on most days, hail covering the ground like snow on two days. A lightning strike on the road outside the general store., and a small tornado that demolished a few buildings on the last day -probably about 5 tears worth of action for here.

I'm working there again this spring, so am hoping for similar.

Does anyone ever have dreams about people they haven't seen in years?
