Different cloud types are associated with different forms and intensities of precipitation. Cumulonimbus clouds produce heavy, showery precipitation often accompanied by thunderstorms, while nimbostratus clouds are associated with steady, prolonged precipitation. Cirrocumulus are high-altitude clouds producing no precipitation, and Cumulus are fair-weather clouds, though larger cumulus congestus can produce light showers.
