Cumulus mediocris cloud

Form of cumulus cloud

Cumulus mediocris is a low- to middle-level cloud with some vertical extent (Family D1) of the genus cumulus, taller than cumulus humilis. It also may exhibit small protuberances from the top and may show the cauliflower form characteristic of cumulus clouds. Cumulus mediocris clouds do not generally produce precipitation of more than very light intensity, but can further develop into clouds such as cumulus congestus or cumulonimbus, which do produce precipitation and severe storms.
