Clouds are formed when warm air and water vapor hit the mountain, making air drift up the incline and the vapor become concentrated. Clouds formed when crossing the mountain are called "kasagumo" while clouds generated after crossing are called "tsurushigumo." It is said that they are a sign the weather is about to change.
