Cumulonimbus clouds have a violet and erratic updraughts of air.

Water which condenses out to fall as rain , can also be raised higher in the atmosphere by these updraughts, to a point where the water freezes in to hail.

Because of the erratic nature of draughts in these clouds , both rain and hail can fall from the cloud.

What type of precipitation do cumulonimbus clouds produce?

Cumulonimbus clouds can produce a variety of precipitation, including rain, snow, hail, or sleet. The specific type of precipitation that is produced depends on the temperature and atmospheric conditions within the cloud.


What type of cloud does heavy rain fall from?

Cumulonimbus clouds, those can cause supercell storms (rotating thunderstorms) and then severe weather, such as deadly lightning, tornadoes, large hail, straight line winds, and even flooding.Another cloud is Mammatus. Mammatus hangs beneath the anvil of a mature thunder cloud. It produces severe weather especially tornadoes. I read this from a book so this is true.


Clouds that have vertical development and produce precipitation are called cumulonimbus?

Yes, that is correct. Cumulonimbus clouds are tall, vertically-developed clouds that can produce heavy rain, thunderstorms, lightning, and even hail. They are often associated with strong convective activity.


Does the cumulus cloud produce rain?

Cumulus clouds can produce rain if they grow large and tall enough to develop into cumulonimbus clouds, which are known for generating thunderstorms and precipitation. When cumulus clouds reach this stage, they can release rain.


How can rain and hail fall from the same cumulonimbus cloud?

The clouds usually are fairly restricted in height, but can sometimes extend upwards to much higher altitudes when they become known as cumulonimbus clouds. These are very large and can extend to 12000 metres or higher. At base level, the cloud is made up of water droplets but the top of the cloud is made up of ice crystals. Cumulonimbus produce severe weather such as heavy rain, hail, thunderstorms and tornadoes.

How can the same cumulonimbus cloud produce rain or hail?

A cumulonimbus cloud can produce rain or hail depending on the strength of updrafts within the cloud. If the updrafts are strong enough to carry water droplets high into the cloud where they freeze, hailstones may form. If the updrafts are not as strong, the water droplets will fall as rain.


What do cumulonimbus clouds produce besides thunderstorms?

Type of rain cloud?

Cumulonimbus clouds are the type of cloud that typically produce heavy rain showers, thunderstorms, and even hail. These clouds are characterized by their towering heights and dark, ominous appearance.

What is a massive vertical cloud that contains a lot of moisture and is associated with thunderstorms?

What falls from cumulonimbus?

Depending on the temperature and other conditions, it could be rain, snow or hail. But if the question is about what falls from cumulonimbus that most likely wouldn't fall from other cloud formations, then the answer would be hail. It's the vertical activity that gives the cumulonimbus cloud its distinctive shape, and it's the vertical activity that forms hail...especially large hail stones.
