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.
A thunderstorm, also known as an electrical storm, lightning storm, or thundershower, is a storm characterized by the presence of lightning and its acoustic effect on the Earth's atmosphere, known as thunder. Thunderstorms occur in association with a type of cloud known as a cumulonimbus. They are usually accompanied by strong winds, heavy rain, and sometimes snow, sleet, hail, or, in contrast, no precipitation at all. Thunderstorms may line up in a series or become a rainband, known as a squall line.
