What Do Clouds Tell Us About the Weather

Clouds are essential indicators of weather, formed by water droplets or ice crystals when warm air rises and cools. They vary by altitude: high-level clouds are icy, mid-level clouds are mixed, and low-level clouds are mostly water droplets. Vertical clouds span multiple levels. There are ten main cloud types, each with distinct features and weather implications, such as cirrus for fair weather and cumulonimbus for storms.
