The latter can achieve heavy intensity due to the cloud's vertical depth. Accessory cloud: Nimbostratus pannus is an accessory cloud of nimbostratus that forms as a ragged layer in precipitation below the main cloud deck. [11] Pannus is coded C L 7. Genitus mother clouds: This genus type can form from cumulus and cumulonimbus.
Clouds of the genus nimbostratus tend to bring constant precipitation and low visibility. This cloud type normally forms above 2 kilometres (6,600 ft) [10] from altostratus cloud but tends to thicken into the lower levels during the occurrence of precipitation. The top of a nimbostratus deck is usually in the middle level of the troposphere.
Cumulonimbus (from Latin cumulus 'swell' and nimbus 'cloud') is a dense, towering, vertical cloud, [1] typically forming from water vapor condensing in the lower troposphere that builds upward carried by powerful buoyant air currents.
The cumulonimbus flammagenitus cloud (CbFg), also known as the pyrocumulonimbus cloud, is a type of cumulonimbus cloud that forms above a source of heat, such as a wildfire, nuclear explosion, or volcanic eruption, [5] and may sometimes even extinguish the fire that formed it. [6] It is the most extreme manifestation of a flammagenitus cloud.

A cumulonimbus incus is a mature thunderstorm cloud generating many dangerous elements. Lightning: this storm cloud is capable of producing bursts of cloud-to-ground lightning. Hail: hailstones may fall from this cloud if it is a highly unstable environment (which favours a more vigorous storm updraft).
