| I looked up to see a sky clearing down to the horizon, with no sign of rain cloud. |
| The rain cloud is called the nimbus, and may be said to be the extension of a cumulo-stratus. |
| A sprawl of potatoes at the center of the picture is the despair of a family of seven and a worried dog as a pluming rain cloud approaches from distant hills. |
| When she finally appeared on the veranda, her face was as dark as a rain cloud. |
| She gasped in excitement as she saw bolts of lightning flitter across the sky, leaping from one bleak rain cloud to another. |
| Nearer and nearer the roar of the rain cloud approached, though as yet not a drop had fallen over us. |
