Very heavy rain or hail. These type of clouds often are associated with thunderstorms.
Typically clouds that produce precipitation will have either the Nimbo- prefix or -nimbus suffix. Clouds that produce precipitation (rain, snow, sleet, hail...etc) will normally appear lower in the sky such as the Nimbostratus & Cumulonimbus. There are different variations of these clouds with variations of the above names. Double-click on the terms "Nimbostratus" or "Cumulonimbus" to get the definition from AnswerTips!
clear sky which mean not any types of precipitation
Cirrostratus clouds art the least likely to produce precipitation that reaches the ground. These clouds are often formed from cirrus clouds as a warm front approaches.

Nimbo clouds produce rain. Nimbostratus clouds are full of water, so sunlight cannot get through it, that is why the sky is dark when there are storm clouds above.
normally cumulus clouds do not produce precipitation. It is cumulonimbus clouds that form rain or snow depending on the season.

Clouds that are dark on the bottom are likely cumulonimbus clouds. That word comes from cumulus and nimbus. Cumulus means light, or fluffy. They're the kind of clouds you look for shapes in. Nimbus means rain. So, fluffy rain clouds is a rough translation. Cumulonimbus clouds bring rain, and possibly a tornado if you live in that area. It might be a heavy rain or a harsh thunderstorm. Just get inside as fast as you can!
Nimbostratus clouds produce rain that can last for several hours or days. These types of clouds are found below 2000 meters, and their moisture content is high. Some other types of clouds are altocumulus, altostratus, and cirrus clouds.
regular rain
If by nimbus you mean nimbostratus, they produce light to moderate rain or snow over a long time. If you mean cumulonimbus, they produce showers of heavy rain. Cumulonimbus also can produce hail, snow, lightning, strong wind and tornadoes. These clouds are also associated with hurricanes, but generally, they are the thunderstorm cloud.
