Cumulus humilis clouds are typically associated with fair weather and do not extend very high in the atmosphere. Therefore, rising air motion is more likely to occur under the cloud due to localized heating of the ground, and sinking air motion is more likely to occur between the clouds. This creates a pattern of rising and sinking air parcels that can contribute to the formation and dissipation of the clouds.
