Surprisingly Heavy Weather
As you know, clouds are surprisingly heavy. There are a lot of variables to consider, but, a bit of googling reveals that for a grey cloud layer like the one seen here at Westward Ho!, ‘surprisingly heavy’ might mean something along the lines of 8 to 10 million tonnes of water and around 30 to 50 billion tonnes of air.
Just floating above your head.
That’s it really, that’s all you need to know.

Usual caveats etc.
