Nephophobia

    Below are what I have found regarding Nephophobia which actually means an exaggerated or irrational fear of clouds. Most of the sufferers of this phobia have had experienced violent events that include clouds and some even regard the white floating images as an omen of danger. The symptoms that can be identified for this phobia is feeling of panic,terror, dread, having rapid heartbeat and having taken extreme avoidance measures. There are also a few known treatments for this phobia. The sufferers can undergo behavior therapy and also take anti-anxiety medication. Therapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, exposure therapy and psychotherapy are also know to help to cure this phobia. However, it is important for the people who have this phobia to learn more on the makeup of clouds and to realise that clouds are more than not a harmless buffer between the earth and sunlight.
