Cumulonimbus Clouds

A cumulonimbus cloud can grow up to 10km high. At this height, high winds will flatten the top of the cloud out into an anvil-like shape. Cumulonimbus clouds are associated with heavy rain, lightning, hail, and tornadoes. They are also known as thunderstorms and are puffy type of cloud.
