Cirrus clouds look like feathers and they are very high in the sky where the air is cold. These clouds are made of tiny bits of ice because they are so high. Rain does not fall from these clouds. These clouds may be seen at any time of the year. In some geographical areas, they appear just before and just after periods of rain, so the sight of cirrus clouds can signal the approach of rain in one or two days, or mark the end of a rainy period and the beginning of clear skies.
