This is a gray cloud layer that makes the surrounding hard to see. If it is thick enough, it will produce drizzle, ice prisms, or snow grains.

What is a stratus cloud?

100

Gray or bluish cloud sheets or layers of striated or fibrous clouds that totally or partially cover the sky. They are thin enough to regularly reveal the sun as if seen through ground glass.

What is altostratus clouds?

100

It indicates the amount of hail.

What is the purple on a weather map indicate?

100

This is formed from moisture, moist air, unstable rising air, and something that helps lift it. 

What are thunderstorms?

When there are no clouds blocking the sunlight and the temperature is warm. Generally, we experience this type of weather in Spring or Summer season. Children can go outside and play or enjoy an outdoor picnic in this type of weather.

What is sunny?

200

This is gray or whitish patchy, sheet, or layered clouds that has a honeycomb appearance. 

What is stratocumulus clouds?

200

White and/or gray patchy, sheet, or layered clouds generally composed of laminae (plates), rounded masses, or rolls. They may be partly fibrous or diffuse and may or may not be merged.

What is altocumulus cloud?

200

This is a type of natural phenomenon that occurs when an electric current flows between two regions that are charged electrically. The two regions could both be in the atmosphere, or one of them could be on the ground and the other in the air.

What is lightning?

200

This is a storm with a violent wind, in particular a tropical cyclone in the Caribbean.

What is a hurricane?

This is a thunderstorm cloud in the form of a mountain or a huge tower. The upper portion is usually smooth, fibrous, or striated and nearly always flattened in the shape of an anvil or vast plume.They can also produce storms and tornadoes. 

What is a cumulonimbus cloud?

300

Transparent, whitish veil-like clouds with a fibrous (hair-like) or smooth appearance. A sheet of cirrostratus is very extensive and can cover the whole sky.

What is cirrostratus cloud?

300

This is a form of solid rain. While many might confuse hail with sleet, one must remember that hail is simply a form of solid rain or precipitation, while sleet is made up of tiny balls of ice, hail is formed when water droplets freeze together.

What is hail?

300

This is a violently rotating column of air that is in contact with both the surface of the Earth and a cumulonimbus cloud or, in rare cases, the base of a cumulus cloud.

What is a tornado?

300

The large clouds in the sky produce rain. When it rains lightly, we feel normal, but when it rains heavily, we may feel a little cold. We should wear a waterproof coat or carry an umbrella on rainy days.

What is a cumulus cloud?

Thin and white, these clouds look like a patchy sheet or layer arranged somewhat-regularly into grains or ripples without shading. Most of these elements have an apparent width of less than one degree (approximately width of the little finger held at arm's length).Predominantly made of ice crystals, cirrocumulus often form in connection with cirrus or cirrostratus or from a degraded state of these cloud types and are short-lived.

What is cirrocumulus cloud?

400

This happens when water overflows on land and submerges it for a significant amount of time. It  typically occurs after a period of heavy rainfall, but it can also take place due to the effects of climate change.

What is a flood?

400

This is a type of snowstorm that is more severe and dangerous than regular snowstorms. They typically form when warm air rises over cold air and causes precipitation. However, as the winds get heavier and stronger, it emerges from a snowstorm.

What is a blizzard?

400

The precipitation falls as snow. The low temperature causes the water in clouds to freeze, and the water becomes snowflakes and falls down. The snowy weather is too cold, but people also enjoy activities like sledging, snowman making, ice skating, etc., in this weather.


What is snowy?

500

This is a dark gray cloud layer diffused by falling rain or snow. It is thick enough throughout to blot the sun. 

What is a nimbostratus cloud?

500

Detached clouds in the form of white, delicate filaments, mostly in patches or narrow bands. They may have a fibrous (hair-like) and/or silky sheen appearance.Cirrus clouds are always composed of ice crystals, and their transparent character depends upon the degree of separation of the crystals.

What is cirrus cloud?

500

This can cause a lot of damage as they cover roads and sidewalks with a smooth layer of ice, making them dangerous to walk or drive on. Unlike the combination of rain with snow, freezing rain is made of water in its liquid state. This freezing rain becomes frozen only after passing through a layer of sub-freezing air.

What is ice storms?

500

This typically occur in dry regions, when a strong gust of wind blows dust or sand from one place to another. They usually last for any amount of time within an hour. It has the power to move large quantities of sand from one area to another.

What is a dust storm?

500

A violent, rotating column of air that forms over a body of water and touches the water surface. If it does not touch the water surface, then it is called a funnel cloud.
