We've guessed that you're not using a client that supports colored tables and have tried to compensate. Though cirrostratus can cover the entire sky and be up to several thousand feet thick, they are relatively transparent, as the sun or the moon can easily be seen through them. Rauber Sometimes the only indication of their presence is given by an observed halo around the sun or moon.
Halos result from the refraction of light by the cloud's ice crystals.
Cirrostratus clouds, however, tend to thicken as a warm front approaches, signifying an increased production of ice crystals. Lower on the horizon, thickening cirrostratus clouds effectively hide the sun, signifying changing weather ahead. As the warm front approaches, these clouds will thicken and be replaced lower and more dense cloud types . Credits and Acknowledgments for WW2010.
