In meteorologia lo Strato (in latino stratus, abbreviazione St) è una nube bassa e uniforme, a sviluppo orizzontale di colore variabile dal grigio scuro fino quasi al bianco. Lo strato può dare origine a piogge o nevicate ma molto deboli, a differenza dei nembostrati. Un'altra caratteristica che distingue gli strati da questi ultimi è il minor spessore (che spesso lascia trasparire la luce del Sole e della Luna) e la maggiore uniformità.
