Clouds of the Day - Cumulus - Monday, October 16, 2023

Cumulus clouds are puffy heaped clouds found at all three main levels in the atmosphere - low (below 6.500 feet), middle (between 6,500 feet to 20,000 feet, and high clouds (above 20,000 feet). In the low level they are named Cumulus. In the middle level they are Altocumulus. In the high level they are Cirrocumulus.

The clouds in the photo below are puffy and heaped low clouds and are therefore named Cumulus.
