THESE strange clouds caught the eye of Pam Rogers.

Pam, a member of the Hereford Times Camera Club on Facebook, took the pictures in Kington last night.

Formations like this are sometimes known as cloud fingers, and happen when down-draughts form at the base of clouds as water in the air evaporates.

The cloud absorbs heat from the air, and as the airs cools it starts to descend in columns.

Sometimes they form 'heads' at the bottom, giving them the appearance of an inverted mushroom.

Funnel clouds or 'tuba' are extending, spinning fingers of cloud that reach towards the ground, but never touch it. When they do reach the ground they become a tornado, according to the Met Office.

In the UK they often look like thin dangling bits of rope hanging from the cloud above. But in parts of America funnel clouds can sometimes be thicker and much more intense.
