    Typically, clouds can move 30-120 miles per hour. It depends on the situation and the type of cloud that determines the speed. For instance, high cirrus clouds can travel at a speed of more than 100 mph during the jet stream. Clouds during the thunderstorm can travel at speed up to 30 to 40 mph.
