Explanation:

Clouds form throughout all the levels of the atmosphere and affect both weather and climate. The type and amount of clouds that commonly form over a region impact the precipitation conditions. Cloud cover may also influence temperatures at the surface of the planet.

Water evaporates from the ground and condenses in the atmosphere, resulting in a wide variety of cloud shapes: from large, puffy clouds to wispy formations. When there are few clouds in a region, it generally signals the presence of a high-pressure system, which means that residents can expect fair weather and no precipitation. Certain clouds, such as low-level, short, cumulus clouds, indicate that fair weather is moving into the area. Residents can expect sunny skies and little precipitation. When high-level cirrus or low-level stratus clouds increase in a region, the region can expect to see precipitation from an incoming low-pressure system. Cirrus clouds are thin, wispy clouds that usually occur in the upper levels of the atmosphere ahead of a storm. Stratus clouds are thin-layered, gray clouds that can result in light precipitation.
