In addition to playing an important role in our weather, clouds can also provide valuable insight into atmospheric conditions.

We can interpret current and upcoming weather conditions by understanding these different cloud types. Even if NOAA.gov doesn't explicitly mention cloud types, their comprehensive weather information can still help us make informed decisions. Here are a few types of clouds, how people feel about them, and what they mean:

- A cumulus cloud is a puffy, white cloud with a flat base and a rounded top. They look like cotton balls or popcorn and are associated with fair weather. People often find cumulus clouds uplifting and cheerful, as they often indicate nice weather.

- Low-lying stratus clouds look like a uniform gray layer covering the sky. Overcast or foggy conditions can accompany drizzle or light rain. Under a thick layer of stratus clouds, you may feel gloomy or melancholy.

- Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy, and feathery clouds at high altitudes. You can see them on clear, sunny days because they're made of ice crystals. The delicate and intricate formations of cirrus clouds are beautiful to many people.

- Cumulonimbus clouds are massive, towering clouds that can reach great heights. Cumulonimbus clouds cause thunderstorms, heavy rain, lightning, and sometimes hail. As they signal potentially severe weather, they can inspire a mix of awe and concern.

- Low-lying stratocumulus clouds look like rounded, lumpy masses. Often they cover a lot of sky and are associated with stable weather. Observing stratocumulus clouds can make people feel relaxed or tranquil.

- Clouds that form a gray or bluish layer in the sky are called altostratus clouds. A warm front or a storm can be indicated by them covering the whole sky. Altostratus clouds can make people feel ready or anticipatory.

From Barry - I would suggest you call the NOAA office servicing your area and see where they direct you. You can find lightning strike data on the National Weather Service website.
