Las Tormentas (The Storms)

Las Tormentas, or The Storms, refer to atmospheric disturbances characterized by severe weather conditions such as heavy rain, strong winds, thunder, lightning, and sometimes hail. They occur when warm, moist air rises and interacts with cooler air masses, causing instability in the atmosphere. This results in the formation of cumulonimbus clouds and intense weather activity. Storms can vary in intensity and duration, impacting communities, infrastructure, and the environment. Understanding storms helps in preparing for their effects, predicting their development, and mitigating potential damage.
