There are two main rain/snow making clouds.

Nimbostratus, a thick uniformly grey cloud at low heights will cause light to moderate rain or snow to fall over long periods of time.

Cumulonimbus, a massive white towering cloud sometimes with the shape of an anvil, with a very dark appearance from below. These clouds will make very heavy rain/snow fall over a short time, often with the presence of lightning.

These are the clouds that will make rain and snow

Well it's not stratus, not cumulonimbus, its not cirrus, so it has to be cumulus. So there you have it.... cumulus.

Cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds often bring rain. Cirrus clouds do not. Stratus clouds rarely bring rain.
