Cloud colour: Grey or white, generally with shading.
Cloud shape: Either patches or a sheet of rounded elements but may also appear as an undulating layer. When viewed from the ground, the size of individual elements will have an apparent width of more than 5° when at an elevation greater than 30° (roughly the width of three fingers at arm's length).
