Sunlight warms the ground, then heat is absorbed by the air which therefore expands and rises, then rising air molecules rub against other air molecules and develop static electric charges, and then the total of these static electric charges inside a cloud can eventually create a sufficiently high voltage that the electric field can ionize the air, creating a conductive pathway through whcih the electricity flows, in the form of lightning.
