The picture of this cloudy sky was taken today in Hamburg, Germany. Any idea, what it is, where it comes from and if it has a special name?

    $\begingroup$ Thanks @Fred, while I have never seen a lenticular cloud in reality, I so far thought it typically can be found behind mountain ridges, but not over the relatively flat area over Hamburg. $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 16, 2022 at 0:08
