Are there clouds that form in specific areas or times of day?

Lenticular clouds form only over mountain peaks. They look like a stack of different layers of cloud matter. Noctilucent clouds are the highest in Earth’s atmosphere. They form only between sunset and sunrise between the latitudes of 50° and 70° north and south of the equator.
