Actually it depends on the amount of moisture in the lower levels. The link below shows how varying temperatures and dew point temperatures change the height of convective cloud. Just play around with it and you will see for yourself. In effect, cumulus cloud bases are normally higher during the day (when temperatures are higher) and lower at night. A change in air mass (for example a frontal system passing through) change the height of the cumulus formation due to varying the dew point depression. Sea breezes usually lower the bases due to lower temperatures and higher dew point temperatures.

The height of the cloud changes mainly due to changes in the moisture level in the air which in turn depends upon the pressure (sometimes) which in turn depends upon the air temperature which in turn depends upon the apparent movement of the sun everyday towards north or south of the equator.So many factors play a role in deciding the cloud level as these factors change everyday.

As the day goes by air pressure changes. As the air pressure goes up usually around the afternoon clouds begin to disapear but in the morning or evening the pressure goes down and clouds somtimes begin to appear.

It depends on the air pressure.
