The height of summer cu­ mulus definitely is a weath­ er sign to be watched. These li t t le white cumulus clouds we see so often on summer d a y s ^ b u i l d u p a t v a r i o u s levels depending upon the amount of moisture in the air . They are caused by rising warm air condensing and if the rising warm air con­ d e n s e s a t a l o w a l t i t u d e there is quite a bit of mois­ ture in the air--thus chances of. rain are quite good. If , however, the clouds form high up the rising air con­ tains l i t t le moisture and chance^ of rain are not so good. ' Thus the l i t t le white sum­ mer puffs that are called by many people--weather signs --are not necessarily signs of fair weather. They are t h e f i r s t s i g n s o f r i s i n g thermals and quite, often t h e y a r e f o l l o w e d b y a thundershower in the after­ noon--in summer. That is especially true if they begin to form at low alti tudes early In summer momines.
