Thunderstorms

Thunderstorms are weather events characterized by heavy rain, strong winds, lightning, and thunder. They form when warm, moist air rises and cools, leading to condensation and cloud formation. As the storm intensifies, it can produce severe weather, including hail, tornadoes, and flash flooding. Thunder is the sound produced by the rapid expansion of air heated by lightning. Thunderstorms can occur in any region but are most common in warm, humid areas. While they can be awe-inspiring, they can also pose risks to safety and infrastructure, so it’s important to stay informed and prepared during storm conditions.
