Magnificient Cumulus cloud

I was driving regional road 204 to Säkylä and it was raining quite heavily, but then I entered this opening and all of the sudden sun was shining brightly. I saw with my left that there was this tall cumulus cloud, kind of like mushroom cloud, but all white. 

Cumulus clouds are low-level clouds characterized by their distinct puffy, cauliflower-like appearance. They form due to localized convection, where warm, moist air rises, cools, and condenses into visible water droplets or ice crystals. 

The highest cumulonimbus clouds, which are a more intense type of cumulus cloud associated with thunderstorms, can reach peaks of up to 12,000 meters (39,000 feet) or even higher. So, while cumulus clouds themselves are generally found at lower altitudes, their more powerful cousins can soar to impressive heights

Different types of clouds

Clouds are formed when water vapor in the air condenses into visible water droplets or ice crystals. This can occur when moist air rises and cools, causing the water vapor to condense and form clouds.

There are many different types of clouds, but they can generally be classified into three main groups:

Low clouds: These clouds are typically found at altitudes up to about 6,500 feet and include stratus, stratocumulus, and cumulus clouds.

Middle clouds: These clouds are usually found between 6,500 and 20,000 feet and include altocumulus and altostratus clouds.

High clouds: These clouds are found at altitudes above 20,000 feet and include cirrus, cirrostratus, and cirrocumulus clouds.

In addition to these three main groups, there are also special clouds such as cumulonimbus clouds, which are tall and vertical and can produce thunderstorms, and lenticular clouds, which form in the lee of mountains and have a distinctive lens-like shape.
