Stratocumulus volutus is a rare species of stratocumulus cloud, typically forming alone.^[1] Volutus is translated from Latin, meaning revolve, being described as a roll cloud.^[2]^[3] Stratocumulus volutus clouds are low-level clouds, forming below 2,000 meters (6,600 feet). Volutus clouds are much more common in the form of stratocumulus, as opposed to altocumulus volutus.^[4] Stratocumulus volutus clouds are not severe, and may only bring several minutes of rain.^[5] Alternatively, stratocumulus volutus clouds may form with numerous layers, contradicting the usual rounded form.^[6]
