Thunderstorms need warm and moist air to develop. The warm air at the surface creates an unstable environment for the air to rise rapidly.The moisture in this warm air cools and condenses into a cloud, so the more moisture and warm air at the surface, the higher the cumulus cloud can build vertically into a towering cumulus cloud. Check out our Cloud Types blog post for more information on clouds.

If a lifting mechanism is present – a passing front, air moving horizontally over mountains, or even afternoon heat from a hot and sunny day – this warm and moist air rises quickly during the Developing Stage. Rain usually does not yet develop as the storm is still developing during this roughly 10 minute process. While the moisture in the cloud may start to form rain droplets, the updrafts are stronger than the weight of the raindrops and keep the drops suspended in the cloud, where they collide with other drops to become larger and heavier.

When these drops become heavier than the strength of the updraft, the storm has entered the Mature Stage. The rain falling down and pulling cold air with it is called the downdraft. Downdrafts can drastically reduce the surface temperature, even on a hot summer afternoon. As the downdraft hits the ground, it spreads horizontally and can produce a strong gust front with severe-strength straight-line winds exceeding 50 mph. As long as the updraft continues to feed warm air and moisture into the storm, the storm will continue strengthening with lightning, possibly hail, and even tornado development in the strongest storms.

However, in most cases, the downdraft will cut off the supply of warm air to the storm after 20 minutes or so. This marks the Dissipating Stage, with reduced rainfall and less frequent lightning, but strong winds remain a danger. The whole process ranges on average from 30 to 60 minutes. However, in severe thunderstorms, the cycle is longer because the structure is a bit different. When the storm is vertically slanted, the downdrafts will not cut off the inflow of warm air, which can allow the storm to last for hours.

Thunderstorm is a storm with thunder and lightning.

Explanation: A thunderstorm is followed by heavy rains or hail.  

  • Thunderstorms increase in warm and humid tropical regions very frequently. This is due to the fact the warmth of tropical place warms up the air and makes it thrust up, while humidity affords the water vapour for the formation of clouds.
  • The solar heats the floor of earth. The warm floor of earth warms the air in touch with it. The heat air rises up developing a low strain place and cool air rushes in to take its location within the shape of sturdy winds. As the nice and cozy air rises, it transfers warmth to the top stages of environment and starts to cool.
  • The water vapour present within the rising cool air and condense to shape a cloud. The cloud grows upwards into regions wherein the temperature is near the freezing factor of water (0°C). The friction among speedy growing 'water droplets' within the cloud and falling ice debris produces contrary electric powered expenses on them.  
  • Due to this, the top of cloud turns into positively charged and the lowest of cloud turns into negatively charged. When a big quantity of contrary electric powered expenses increase within the cloud, a high-quality quantity of electrical cutting-edge passes through the air within the cloud which produces a huge electric powered spark within the cloud. This electric powered spark is the lightning. The spark of lightning heats the close by air too.
  • This extraordinarily warm air expands explosively inflicting a noisy sound referred to as thunder. A thunderstorm brings sturdy winds, thunder, lightning and heavy rains (or hail).
