Can you judge the weather by observing the clouds?

You can judge the weather by observing clouds.

The sky is ever-changing, sometimes it's clear in Wan Li, sometimes it's overcast, sometimes it's cloudy and sometimes it's flocculent. Sky conditions refer to atmospheric conditions such as cloud amount, cloud height and cloud shape. Clouds are a manifestation of the weather. Different clouds often appear with a certain weather, and often become a sign of future sky changes. At present, the meteorological station makes weather forecast according to the cloud pictures taken by satellites. Even in the ocean without meteorological data and the hinterland of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, they can accurately judge the weather by looking at clouds.

We can also infer the weather from the brilliant phenomena on the clouds. Around the sun and the moon, sometimes beautiful colored apertures appear, the inner layer is red and the outer layer is purple. This aperture is called halo. Solar and lunar halos are often signs of heavy rain in cirrostratus, so there is a saying that "it rains at night when the sun is dizzy, and it is windy at noon when the moon is dizzy".

General relationship between clouds and weather

1, Cumulus: Cumulus is a fluffy white cloud shaped like a cotton ball. If you see the sky covered with cumulus clouds, it usually means sunny weather, but it may develop into thunderstorm clouds in hot weather.

2. Stratocumulus: Stratocumulus is a gray or white cloud covering the whole sky. If you see the sky covered with stratus clouds, it generally indicates cloudy days or slight precipitation.

3. Cirrus clouds: Cirrus clouds are long and curly clouds, which usually appear at high altitude. If you see the sky covered with cirrus clouds, when the cirrus clouds become thicker and darker, it may indicate the arrival of rain or storm.

4. Rain clouds: Rain clouds are dark gray clouds, which are usually thick and develop vertically. If you see the sky full of rain clouds, these clouds are often accompanied by precipitation, which may be showers, thunderstorms or persistent rainfall.
