How to Predict the Weather Watching Clouds
Published by This guide shows you how to predict the weather by just looking at the clouds!
Wondering what weather it’s going to be? Too lazy to watch the weather report? Predict the weather yourself by simply looking at the clouds!
Stratus
These are often guided by rain, ice crystals or snow.
Cumulus
These generate a lot of wind and can grow into a cumulonimbus cloud.
Cumulonimbus
These can cause rain, snow and thunderstorms.
Stratocumulus
They don’t bring lot of problems themselves, only drizzle, light rain or sometimes snow, but they are often on the front or tail of worse weather, in the form of thunderstorms and gusty winds.
Altocumulus
These precede a cold front, and on a warm, humid summer morning, they signal that thunderstorms will generate later that day.
Altostratus
These often precede rain.
Nimbostratus
These cause rain.
Cirrus

Well, now I can be sure that you are a very altruistic teen.
Only thinking about the time it took you to search for and find this amazing pictures, then to research wheter or not these clouds formations will announce rain, and put all of these togheter it is a great effort.
My applauses again.
My best wishes for you Dwarfpope
