"Nimbo" is a combining form that indicates the presence of rain or precipitation (e.g., nimbostratus). "Nimbus" refers to a luminous cloud or halo that surrounds a supernatural being or a form of radiance encompassing something divine or sacred.

"Nimbostratus" is from the Latin words nimbus, meaning "cloud," and stratus, meaning "stretched out, extended."
That cloud looks like a nimbus.
nimbus in latin is a rain cloud, a cloud, a cloudburst, a shower Nimbus Latin, related to Nebula, nephele, properly vapour, cloud), in art and archeology signifies a shining light implying great dignity. Closely related are the halo, glory, and aureole. EDIT: Nimbus: Literally it is a violentl- pouring rain-storm. The meaning was then transferred to a could that produced such a storm: a dark raincould. From that meaning there stemmed many more: any dark cloud, anything that was shaped like a cloud, a kind headband worn by women (maybe shaped like a cloud), and a vessel for sprinkling perfume (so it poured out perfume like a cloud poured out rain).
The clouds that thunderstorms from in are Nimbus clouds. Any type of Nimbus cloud can forms a thunderstorm. p.s. To divine a Nimbus cloud it is ether black or gray. But not every Nimbus cloud forms a thunderstorm only some, but keep that in mined.
Well a nimbus cloud is not a cloud. If you are referring to a cumulonimbus cloud than yes. A cumulonimbus cloud is a storm cloud. Clouds that have names that include -nimbus or nimbo- are likely to produce precipitation.
