Warm cloud

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-010079

A cloud composed entirely of liquid water droplets, with temperatures consistently above 0 degrees Celsius throughout its vertical extent. These clouds lack ice crystals, even in their upper portions. Precipitation from warm clouds forms through the collision-coalescence process, where larger droplets grow by sweeping up smaller ones.
