What weather will cirrus bring?

Cirrus clouds will bring sunny weather.

Cirrus clouds are sometimes generated at the highest height where clouds can be generated, and the cloud bottom is generally 4500 to 10000 meters. Cirrus clouds are composed of tiny ice crystals at high altitude, and the ice crystals are sparse, so the clouds are thin and transparent.

Cirrus clouds are located in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere of the earth's atmosphere, and play an important role in global energy balance, radiation budget and weather changes. On the one hand, cirrus clouds reflect (or scatter) solar radiation.

Reduce the energy reaching the surface and atmosphere, and cool the atmosphere; On the other hand, cirrus absorbs long-wave radiation from the surface and the atmosphere, and heats the atmosphere.

Extended data:

Cirrus clouds are mostly in the form of tiny ice crystals, and clouds are white. Because they contain ice crystals, they look more transparent and bright, and usually do not weaken sunlight and moonlight. Clouds in the blue sky will be cleaner and have a silky luster.

Only the thick and dense part of the cloud can obviously weaken the sun and moonlight, and even the outlines of the sun and the moon can't be seen clearly. Sometimes with aura, aura is often incomplete. In the northern and western plateaus of China, cirrus clouds sometimes drop sporadic light snow in winter.

Cirrus clouds are usually not thick, thin and scattered, showing a little fibrous clouds, such as feathers, hair, messy silk, or ponytails, with many postures. The separated scattered clouds have obvious fiber structure, white with silky luster, bright yellow or red near sunrise and sunset, and grayish black at night.
