A thunderstorm is a storm where you hear thunder and see lightning. Usually there is heavy rain in a thunderstorm. Thunderstorms are electric storms. When there is about to be a thunderstorm, a cumulonimbus cloud forms, often in a clear blue sky. (When a cloudâs name ends in nimbus, it means rain or snow is falling from the cloud.) The cloud increases in size and begins to build up peaks, which become very dark.
