CLOUD TYPES

Stratus clouds usually cover the whole sky and make for a grey, dreary day.


Cumulus clouds look like fluffy balls of cotton wool, and generally only develop during the daytime.


Cumulonimbus clouds can be beautiful but often bring with them heavy rain, hail and lightning.


Cirrus clouds are the highest of all clouds, and are sometimes a foreteller of bad weather to come.
