They can form together to make cumulonimbus clouds that can make rain or snow. Cumulus clouds can be a prediction of heavy weather to come if they appear at certain times of the day.Cumulus clouds are considered the 'fair weather' cloud, as they do not produce rain or snow on their own unless they form together into a cumulonimbus to do so.

Clouds that include the name "nimbus" tend to be the ones that create precipitation. Nimbostratus clouds create falling rain and snow, while cumulonimbus clouds are associated with thunderstorms.
