Scenario
Cloud Type You Might See

dark clouds.

The weather man reports that there is good
weather, however, you may want to stay inside
because the weather may change soon and
possibly begin to rain.
Cirrus
You and a friend are lying in the grass on a nice,
sunny day. You look up in the sky and try to
make pictures out of the fluffy clouds in the sky.
Cumulus
You’re looking out of the window and you’re so
happy that you put your bike in the garage
because it’s heavily raining and even starting to
hail!
Cumulonimbus
You wake up for school one morning in the
middle of winter and look outside. You are
happy to see these blue-gray, blanket-like clouds
in the sky because you know that snow is very
likely!
Altocumulus
One summer day, you and a friend are trying to
plan to go to the pool. You’re bummed out
because you know that the lower height clouds
that you see in the sky mean it’s very likely to
rain.
