Will a valley breeze or a mountain breeze produce clouds? Explain

What will be the ideal response?


ANSWER: When the upslope winds are well developed and have sufficient moisture, they can reveal themselves through cumulus clouds that build above mountain summits. Since valley breezes usually reach their maximum strength in the early afternoon, cloudiness, showers, and even thunderstorms are common over mountains during the warmest part of the day.
