Description

Cumulus humilis clouds over Derwent Water in spring. Shallow cumulus (cumulus humilis) clouds (fluffy shapes) over Derwent Water in the Lake District. Cumulus clouds typically occur under 2000 metres altitude. They form from water vapour in rising columns of air which condenses as it cools. Cumulus clouds often form at cold fronts where the advancing, cool air forces warm air upwards. The humilis variety occurs either as the first stage of the formation of other cumulus types, or when heat transfer (convection) in the atmosphere is weak. Due to its shallow depth, cumulus humilis does not produce any significant weather. Photographed in mid-afternoon in May, in Cumbria, UK.
