Nimbus clouds are likely to produce precipitation, such as rain, snow, hail, or sleet. These clouds are characteristic of stormy weather conditions and typically bring wet weather.

Cumulus clouds are puffy, white clouds with a flat base, often indicating fair weather. Nimbus clouds are dark, rain-producing clouds associated with thunderstorms and precipitation. When combined, they form cumulonimbus clouds, which can produce severe weather like thunderstorms, heavy rain, and lightning.
Nimbus clouds can be associated with severe weather, including tornadoes, but they do not directly cause tornadoes. Tornadoes form when conditions such as instability, wind shear, and a triggering mechanism come together in the right way. Nimbus clouds can be a sign of these conditions, but they are not the sole cause of tornadoes.
Nimbostratus and cumulonimbus clouds are associated with rainfall. Nimbostratus clouds are thick and gray, causing steady rain showers. Cumulonimbus clouds are large, dense, and can lead to intense, localized rain showers or thunderstorms.
