What weather do altocumulus clouds predict?

Altocumulus clouds indicate sunny days, unstable weather, and precipitation, depending on the situation.

When translucent altocumulus clouds change little, they are a sign of sunny weather. When the thickness of altocumulus clouds continues to thicken and gradually merge into layers, it indicates that the weather will change and even precipitation will occur.

Altocumulus translucent clouds are white clouds shaped like fish scales, arranged in rows and rows. They are a type of cloud layer that appears when strong cold air arrives, indicating that the weather conditions will be unstable in the near future.
