Cloud altocumulus cloud has been given the Latin name "asperitas". The supplementary feature "cavum" is a circular fall-streak hole that occasionally forms in a thin layer of supercooled altocumulus or cirrocumulus. Fall streaks consisting of virga or wisps of cirrus are usually seen beneath the hole as ice crystals fall out to a lower altitude. This type of hole is usually larger than typical lacunosus holes. A "murus" feature is a cumulonimbus wall cloud with a lowering, rotating cloud base than can lead to the development of tornadoes. A "cauda" feature is a tail cloud that extends horizontally away from the
Cumulus humilis cloud Cumulus humilis cloud Cumulus humilis are cumuliform clouds with little vertical extent, common in the summer, that are often referred to as "fair weather cumulus". If they develop into cumulus mediocris or cumulus congestus, thunderstorms could form later in the day. They generally form at lower altitudes (500–3000 m (1,500–10,000 ft)), but in hot countries or over mountainous terrain these clouds can occur at an altitude of up to . They show no significant vertical development, indicating that the temperature in the atmosphere above them either drops off very slowly or not at all with altitude; that is, the adiabatic
