The Electrifying Weather
Lightning is known as nature's fireworks. It is a sudden electric discharge. Also recognized as a spark of electricity between a cloud and the ground.
Thunderstorms are where lightning and thunder occur. They are formed when a cold front moves in and meets a warm front. Also cumulonimbus clouds produce thunderstorms. Cumulonimbus clouds are formed when there is enough upward motion, and enough moisture in the air to produce a deep cloud that can reach colder than freezing. Mostly these conditions are met in the summer.
