'''Cumulus''' clouds, distinguished by their puffy appearance, form from the condensation of water vapor in areas where [[convection]] occurs. As parcels of air are heated, they rise because of [[buoyancy]]. As the air rises, it becomes cooler. When the air reaches the [[dewpoint]], water vapor [[condense]]s into droplets, which form a cloud. The [[condensation]] of the water vapor, however, causes the air to become warmer; if atmospheric conditions are [[instability|unstable]], cumulus clouds may attain great vertical development. The base of a cumulus cloud is typically well below 8000 feet above sea level, but the height of the top of cumulus a cloud may vary greatly. The larger or taller a cumulus cloud, the more likely it is to produce precipitation or to develop into a [[cumulonimbus]] cloud, which may produce a [[thunderstorm]] or [[severe weather]].
