    Clouds

    The odd formation was spotted over many parts of West Yorkshire last night, look pretty biblical don't they!

    They are in fact mammatus clouds and are formed when the usual cloud-forming process of upward cloud growth is reversed, making for an uneven cloud base.

    Just so you know, Mammatus comes from the Latin mamma which translates to "udder" or "breast".

    Every day's a school day.

  11. 'Keep your distance' warning around East Coast sealspublished at 08:10 British Summer Time 13 September 2017

    Visitors to the Lincolnshire coast are being warned to take care around seals ahead of the grey seal breeding season.

    Thousands of people are drawn to see the seals at Donna Nook, between Mablethorpe and Cleethorpes, during the autumn breeding season.

    Todd German, senior aquarist based at the Sea Life Centre in Scarborough, says there's already been a "high level of disturbance" to seals this summer and people should keep their distance - especially around new-born seals.
