Picture this:

You are on a walk with your family. Your parents are looking at the clouds and have determined that there will be a huge thunderstorm later that day.

You look at the sky and it is filled with cumulus clouds, which are puffy and white.

How do you reply to your parents remark?

• Cumulus clouds, which are puffy and white, mean "fair-weather" and that means that it will probably NOT rain.

• You are right, cumulus clouds mean lots of thunderstorms!
