What does nimbo and nimbus mean? Nimbus is a Latin word meaning cloud or rain storm. The prefix nimbo- or the suffix -nimbus indicates a precipitating cloud; for example, a nimbostratus cloud is a precipitati â¦ ng stratus cloud, and a cumulonimbus cloud is a precipitating cumulus cloud.
Alto = Medium level. Nimbus/Nimbo = Rain-bearing cloud. Where these names are combined we can often build up an idea of that cloud's character. For example, if we combine nimbus and stratus we get 'nimbostratus' - a cloud which is flat and layered and has the potential for rain.
