The name of the clouds are cumulonimbus mammatus.
Generally speaking, a mammatus cloud, commonly referred to as a breast cloud or mammary cloud is a small cloud that hangs in clusters from the bottom of another cloud. When it is attached to the bottom of a cumulonimbus cloud, it is an amplifier of what the cloud itself signifies and are most often associated with severe thunderstorms.
