![]() found in the lower levels, a blend between stratiform and cumuliform cloud and taking on appearances from both these cloud types, may produce drizzle 300 m at 2.5 km altitude We distinguish 3 varieties of cumulus according to their vertical development.Įffect The cumulus of good weather does not announce rain but it sometimes gives rise to rain, snow or rolled snow, always in the form of rainfall. When the sun shines on them, they are bright white, while their rather flat base is more or less dark. Their upper side buds and often resembles a cauliflower. low level cloud which tends to produce short duration, fairly intense rainfall that is often very localized, meaning that rain falling at your house might not be falling at your next bay a mile up the coast 200 m at 2 km altitudeĬumulus is a cloud of good weather despite its imposing size and develops vertically. In the lower part of the atmosphere clouds are cumulus It is often found at the front of a warm front and may precede precipitation up to 24 hours after its appearance. Composed of small, widely dispersed ice crystals, announces a change in the weather.Įffect Precipitation: It never produces precipitation. In general, it is associated with a halo phenomenon. 5 to 13 km altitudeĪppears as a transparent, whitish cloud veil with a fibrous and smooth appearance and partially or entirely covers the sky, yet it is not thick enough to remove cast shadows. Often produces a lot of halo activity with cirrostratus cloud, with the ice crystals refracting light around the moon and the sun. found in the higher levels of the atmosphere, white and wispy, and made of ice crystals. It is regularly accompanied by shattered low clouds (pannus).Įffect Rain and rains can last all day and in winter, if it is cold, it will generate snow or ice pellets. It often gives the impression of being lit from the inside, but is thick enough to completely hide the sun. Coming from the altostratus, it causes either rain or snow continuously with a strong to very strong intensity. It is a sign of bad weather and takes the form of a thick grey and dark cloud layer, whose appearance is blurred by the precipitation it generates. formed when altostratus undergoes further vertical development, allowing the cloud to hold more moisture, and causing the cloud base to lower and produce heavier rainfall also appears darker in color 2 to 6 km altitude Several layers of altostratus can overlap at intervals of a few dozen metres and are often associated with altocumulus.Įffect When thick, it can bring rain, snow or ice granules. It looks like a cirrostratus, but without the halo phenomenon. It can let the sun appear where it is thinnest. It is a bluish or greyish cloud layer with a striated, fibrous or uniform appearance and covers a large part of the sky. (‘alto’ meaning high), found in the middle level, tend to be very good rain producing system for large areas across continents, particularly inland 2 to 6 km altitude They are particularly common in large urban areas because of air pollution.Įffect It can produce drizzle, granular snow or snow in very small flakes, in very small quantities and with very low intensity. When it touches the ground, it turns into a fog. Its base is very low (between 20 and 500 m) and it can hide the peaks of small hills. Its irregular contours and dimensions change continuously and rapidly. It can also take the form of a shredded bench when it dissipates. It is a cloud of grayness, which forms a uniform, extended and gray layer of low clouds, which can occur to drizzle, snow or ice prisms. found in the low levels of the atmosphere, tend to produce a light drizzle Stratus (St): 0 to 500 m altitude Click on Catch A Cat/Ride Free.☁️ CLOUDS PACIFIC WEATHER | CARIBBEAN WEATHER | ATLANTIC WEATHER| CLIMATOLOGY | LIGHTNING DENSITY | CLOUDS * Operating 7 days a week, visit the website () for hours of operations.
