rain
Cirrus clouds are thin wispy clouds. They are over 6 kilometers up. It is freezing up there, so they are made of ice crystals. They can mean bad weather is on the way.
Violent updrafts and turbulence that can place stresses on the airframe outside of design limits. I took glider pilot classes years ago and they told us NEVER to enter such a cloud for precisely these reasons, plus the fact that most glider pilots don't carry oxygen. The updrafts in a building cumulus cloud can pull a glider all the way to the top of the cloud, leaving the plane at an altitude where the air has insufficient oxygen to keep the pilot conscious. This not a problem for a pressurized commercial airliner, but the airframe stress is still an issue.
High. It has the same meaning in music. Alto is typically used to describe meteorological cloud formations.

nimbus
Nimbus clouds can be found at various altitudes in the atmosphere, typically between 6,500 to 20,000 feet. They are associated with precipitation and can be low, mid, or high-level clouds depending on their specific type and height in the sky.
That cloud looks like a nimbus.
A nimbus is a type of cloud that is dark and rain-bearing. It is often associated with stormy weather and precipitation. The term "nimbus" is commonly used to describe a specific type of cumulonimbus cloud that can produce thunderstorms.
Nimbus is a Latin word meaning cloud or rain storm. Nimbo is a prefix and nimbus is a suffix. An example would be: Nimbostratus, a precipitating cloud.
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.
Nimbus
a type of cloud
"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.
A nimbus is a luminous cloud or halo surrounding a supernatural being, often depicted in art. It can also refer to a large gray rain cloud.
The plural form for nimbus (grey rain cloud) is nimbi.
