No, a derecho is not a cirrus cloud. A derecho is a widespread, long-lived windstorm associated with a band of rapidly moving thunderstorms, characterized by damaging straight-line winds. In contrast, cirrus clouds are high-altitude, wispy clouds formed primarily of ice crystals, typically indicating fair weather. The two phenomena are related to different aspects of weather and atmospheric conditions.
