It is called Rain.
Thick puffy clouds are called cumulonimbus clouds. They are associated with thunderstorms and can bring heavy rain, thunder, and lightning.
The lowest level of clouds are called stratus clouds. These clouds are typically found at a low altitude and appear as a continuous layer of gray clouds covering the sky. They can bring light rain or drizzle.
White fluffy clouds, known as cumulus clouds, do not bring rain on their own. Rain typically falls from higher-level clouds such as nimbostratus or cumulonimbus clouds, which have more moisture and larger vertical development. Cumulus clouds may eventually develop into rain-producing clouds if they continue to grow and merge with other clouds.
Cumulonimbus clouds are commonly referred to as rain clouds. These are large, vertically-developed clouds associated with thunderstorms and heavy precipitation. They have a characteristic anvil shape at their top.
