A violent storm of thunder or lightning, usually accompanied by rain and sometimes hail (Lesson 28)

Storm in which thunder is heard; caused by decreases in upper air temperatures being abnormal. This vertical insta­bility causes large cloud formations, with correspondingly large electrical charges.

Local storm resulting from warm humid air rising in an unstable environment. Air may start moving upward because of unequal surface heating, the lifting of warm air along a frontal zone, or diverging [..]

A local storm produced by cumulonimbus clouds. It is always accompanied by lightning and thunder. It is estimated that nearly 2,000 thunderstorms occur simultaneously around the Earth at any given instant. There are 3 types of thunderstorms.

Produced by a cumulonimbus cloud, it is a microscale event of relatively short duration characterized by thunder, lightning, gusty surface winds, turbulence, hail, icing, precipitation, moderate to extreme up and downdrafts, and under the most severe conditions, tornadoes.

Convective showers which produce lightning. Heavy rain, strong winds and hail are all possible in thunderstorms.

A local storm with thunder and lightning, usually with gusty winds, heavy rain, and sometimes hail. A thunderstorm is produced by a cumulonimbus cloud, a tall, dense cloud which may look like a tower or mountain and is sometimes topped by a smooth, flat anvil shape. A strong thunderstorm is associated with a passing cold front, and may produce a to [..]
