Cumulus clouds can be seen floating along the bottom of the sky and are seen along the lowest part of the sky. Cumulus clouds are synonymous to fair weather and can even bring along heavy thunderheads and downpour. Cumulus clouds usually come in the shape of popcorn which has visibly distinct edges. Cumulous cloud formations are either in single mass or may appear in clusters. Cumulous clouds carry huge quantity of moisture along with it and are inclined towards temperature.

Cumulus clouds are usually accompanied with wind creation. The first droplets from the cumulus cloud evaporate into the air thereby making the atmosphere cool. As the atmosphere cools down it leads to heavy down pouring. Along with the rain, the clouds even tend to move downwards.

Cumulous clouds appear as if chunks of cotton seem to be floating in the air. The bottom of these clouds is quite flat while its top looks like rounded towers or like a cauliflower. These clouds grow upwards ultimately taking the shape of the colossal cumulonimbus.

Cumulus clouds are generally set up in spaced lines especially above the sea. Spaced lines are generally seen in the trade winds which are spread to several miles. Stuck between these lines are the gusty clouds which carry along wind with them.

Lightning, thunder, and violent tornadoes are even part of the Cumulus clouds which ultimately takes the shape of the cumulonimbus clouds.
