Cumulus Association

Cumulus Association refers to a classification of clouds that are typically fluffy, white, and resemble cotton balls. These clouds often indicate fair weather, as they usually form when warm air rises, cools, and condenses. Cumulus clouds develop in a vertical manner, leading to their puffy appearance, and can occasionally grow larger into cumulus congestus or cumulonimbus clouds, which might bring showers or thunderstorms. Understanding cumulus clouds helps in weather prediction and appreciating the dynamics of the atmosphere.
