What will happen when you see cotton wool clouds in the sky?

It's going to rain when I see cotton wool clouds.

Flocculent cumulus, also known as "cotton cloud" or "fish scale cloud". It often appears in the clear sky in summer, like clusters of scattered and broken cotton wool, and also like a burst of cotton. Clouds vary in size and height. It is formed under the condition of extremely unstable humid air, so the cloud is fragmented and a symbol of rain.

Proverbs about cotton wadding clouds:

1, cotton wadding clouds in the morning and rain in the afternoon.

2, fish scales, no wind and no rain.

The sky is covered with cotton clouds and the ground is raining.

If it was a high cirrus cloud or a small cloud in the early stage, it is now a cotton wadding cloud (fish scale day), and the cloud amount has increased and decreased, indicating that the weather will turn rainy.

Extended data:

Throughout the ages, working people have summed up rich experiences of "knowing the sky by observing the clouds" according to the changes in the shape, direction, moving speed, thickness and color of clouds in production practice, and have compiled these experiences into proverbs.

Although the agricultural proverb may not be 100% correct, meteorologists say that it is a summary of the generation and dissipation of clouds and the evolution and transformation among various clouds through long-term observation and practice by working people, so it has certain reference value.

Agricultural proverbs about clouds:

1, "Hook cloud in the sky, rain on the ground"-Hook cloud refers to hook cirrus cloud. Behind this cloud, front (especially warm front) and low pressure or trough often move, which indicates that rain is coming.

2. "Battery cloud, it's raining"-Battery cloud refers to fort-shaped altocumulus or fort-shaped stratocumulus, which mostly appears in front of the trough of low pressure, indicating that the air is unstable, and thunderstorms usually come every 8 to 10 hours.

3. "Carp point in the sky, you don't have to turn it over as soon as the sun shines"-Carp point refers to translucent cumulus clouds, which are often under the control of denatured high-pressure air masses from cold to warm. If the clouds don't continue to thicken, it will be sunny in the short term.

4. "Fish-scale day, there is wind without rain"-Fish-scale day refers to cirrocumulus. The appearance of such clouds indicates that the upper atmosphere is unstable. If the clouds continue to decrease and thicken, it will rain or wind soon.

5. "Sunset shoots at the foot, and the rain falls within three days"-refers to the sun shining down from the cloud gap, which is called "sun shooting at the foot". The foot of the sun appears in the evening, indicating strong convection and rain.

6. "Don't go out in the morning, travel thousands of miles in the evening"-there are no clouds in the east and clouds in the west in the morning. The sun shines on the clouds and scatters rosy clouds, indicating that the air is full of water vapor or there is rain moving, and the weather will turn rainy; If there is a sunset glow in the evening, it means that the sky in the west has cleared up, and the general convection is weakened at night. The clouds in the east that form the rosy clouds will move eastward or tend to dissipate, saying that it will be fine tomorrow.
