Cumulus arcus clouds have a gust front, [26] and cumulus tuba clouds have funnel clouds or tornadoes. [27] Cumulus pileus clouds refer to cumulus clouds that have grown so rapidly as to force the formation of pileus over the top of the cloud. [28] Cumulus velum clouds have an ice crystal veil over the growing top of the cloud. [19]
Cumulus fractus (WMO genus and species) – ragged detached portions of cumulus cloud. Cumulus humilis (WMO genus and species) – small, low, flattened cumulus, early development. Cumulus mediocris (WMO genus and species) – medium-sized cumulus with bulges at the top. Cumulus pileus (WMO genus and accessory cloud) – capped, hood-shaped ...
Cumulus congestus or towering cumulus clouds are a species of cumulus that can be based in the low- to middle-height ranges. They achieve considerable vertical development in areas of deep, moist convection. They are an intermediate stage between cumulus mediocris and cumulonimbus, sometimes producing rainshowers, snow, or ice pellets. [2]
Transformation from a mature cumulus congestus cloud to a mature cumulonimbus incus In general, cumulonimbus require moisture, an unstable air mass , and a lifting force in order to form. Cumulonimbus typically go through three stages: the developing stage , the mature stage (where the main cloud may reach supercell status in favorable ...

Altocumulus (from Latin altus 'high' and cumulus 'heaped') [1] is a middle-altitude cloud genus that belongs mainly to the stratocumuliform physical category, characterized by globular masses or rolls in layers or patches – the individual elements being larger and darker than those of cirrocumulus and smaller than those of stratocumulus.
