India Meteorological Department on Monday informed that Satellite IR animation from INSAT 3DR has shown convective clouds over south of mainland India.
Convective clouds or cumuliform clouds look like cotton balls and are formed when warm humid air rises through cooler surrounding air in the atmosphere.
There are two types of convection, it is called deep convection if convective clouds reach above 6 km high and if the clouds do not reach high then it’s called shallow convection.
Only deep convection results in thunderstorms and rain showers.
