Thunderstorm

Natural phenomenon
A thunderstorm is an atmospheric phenomenon in which electrical discharges, known as lightning, occur between cumulonimbus clouds and the ground, accompanied by thunder. The occurrence of thunderstorms is triggered by the rising of warm, moist air and the formation of cumulonimbus clouds. Thunderstorms are usually accompanied by rain, powerful wind gusts, and sometimes hail. Thunderstorms can pose a danger to human life and cause damage to infrastructure and buildings.
