I don’t think so – mind you you might not be very well if you had been above the cloud layer.

Hiya bexh96! 🙂
Nah, planes fly through clouds all the time and it doesn’t start raining. It only rains when the clouds become saturated. 🙂
I went up in a hot air balloon once and went through some low cloud and it didn’t happen then.

I have walked through a cloud (on a mountain, not in mid air!) and it is just very humid and foggy! It did not actually start raining. I think for it to rain, big water droplets have to start precipitating together.
