Cloud Type Descriptions MET
Describing the ten basic cloud types can be tricky but often you can fall back on real world experience. Stratiform clouds are generally greyer in colour; cumuliform are generally white (cumulonimbus being the exception.) With stratiform clouds, the sky is generally mostly covered (look for the words "layer" or "sheet"); with cumuliform clouds, generally the sky is more visible (look for the words "detached" or "isolated.")
