Welcome to Fascinating Clouds, a site about everything clouds and more.

From a young age, I have always been fascinated with clouds and how they form. I remember as a kid I used to think that clouds were a solid mass that would support your weight, that’s not the case, so don’t jump out of a plane without a parachute. This revelation did not stop my fascination with clouds, it only increased it, so when I grew up, I decided to learn how to fly and hang out in the sky. This site aims to inspire and provide knowledge.

Here you’ll find information about the ten main cloud types.

Definition of a cloud

The World Meteorological Organization International Cloud Atlas defines a cloud as a hydrometeor consisting of minute particles of liquid water or ice, or both, suspended in the free air and usually not touching the ground. It may also include larger particles of liquid water or ice as well as non-aqueous liquid or solid particles such as those present in fumes, smoke or dust.
The part of the atmosphere in which clouds are present is divided into three levels:
High, Middle and Low.

The regions in which clouds occur influence their height.
