These are probably autocumulus clouds in the mid and late afternoon with an easterly breeze over Roman Road, Southwick. The identity of the clouds has not been confirmed. Do we have a match for Semi-transparent Autocumulus?
Altocumulus
translucidus
The
coding CM=3 is used to report altocumulus at a single level, the greater
part of which is sufficiently transparent to reveal the position of the
sun and moon. The clouds do not progressively invade the sky, and the individual
elements change very little.
The
clouds usually appear white or grey with shading, although the evening
sun produces a yellowing effect
or it could be Altocumulus opacus (Ac op) or Altocumulus translucidus (Ac tr)
Medium level clouds pictorial guide (Met Office)
Altocumulus
clouds
usually occur as a layer or patch of more or less separate cloudlets in
the form of heaps, rolls, billows or pancakes. They are white and/or gray
in colour with generally shadowed parts or undersites and often show a
waved aspect. They may be well shaped by high winds into lentels or rippled
wave patters and might appear as a pancake tower or like an UFO, often
sharply outlined, but they may also become partly fibrous and diffuse.
They may or may not be merged.
More
information on Autocumulus (Weather Online)
Altocumulus clouds are frequently said to resemble flocks of sheep.
Another possibility is the Small Comulus clouds, Cumulus humilis (Cu hum).
