What does this cloud mean? Clouds in the sky

stratocumulus

Clouds are generally large, with great differences in thickness and shape, some in strips, some in sheets, and some in clusters. Usually grayish white or gray, with loose structure. Thin clouds can tell the position of the sun, while thick clouds are relatively dark. Clouds are often arranged in rows or waves.

The thickness of stratocumulus is usually between several hundred meters and two thousand meters. Most of them are composed of water droplets with a diameter of 5-40 microns. Cumulonimbus clouds that appear in winter may also be composed of ice crystals or snowflakes.

In most cases, stratocumulus is formed by the condensation of water vapor due to the mixing of air fluctuation and turbulence. Sometimes it is formed by intense radiation cooling. Generally speaking, it means that the weather is relatively stable, but the stratocumulus gradually thickens and even merges into layers, which means that the weather will change. Low and thick stratocumulus clouds often produce precipitation.

From the above description, I think the clouds in this photo you provided are very similar to stratocumulus clouds. Personal views are for reference only.
