These clouds are found in heights of between the surface and 6500 feet (2000m). They generally consist of tiny water droplets only. The main types found in this level are:

stratus – a grey, often thin layered cloud.

cumulus – a convective/heaped cloud not dissimilar to the head of a cauliflower

cumulonimbus – nimbus stands for rain, thus it is a convective/heaped cloud with precipitation and thunderstorms

nimbostratus – a thick and rain-bearing cloud layer, associated with extended periods of rain or snow.

stratocumulus – a layered convective cloud.
