From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cumulus mediocris is a cloud form of the cumulus family, slightly larger in vertical development than Cumulus humilis. It may or may not show the cauliflower form characteristic of cumulus clouds. This cloud type does not produce precipitation, but may further advance into clouds such as Cumulus congestus and Cumulonimbus, which do.
