In a thunderstorm, warm moist air rises. Air ad the ground must then move in to replace it.
Thunderstorms are most likely to form when the air is warm and humid.
The opportunity for warm, sticky air is also more likely, but warm air alone cannot trigger thunderstorms.Thunderstorms need an unstable environment and enough moisture to make tall, large clouds and the cumulonimbus cloud that defines a thunderstorm.
It cools and consequently can hold less water vapour. The vapour condenses and it rains. This is convection rainfall.
Warm air rises from the ground to the troposphere(an updraft). when updrafts rise, they cool down everything and condense.

humidity
A humid place is best because humid air rises and is full of wetness so water evaporates into humid air.
unstable environment

clouds
When saturated air is warm, it creates an unstable air mass. As the moisture content rises, the humidity rises as well. This can lead to warm and humid conditions.
Clouds are form because humid air rises upward.
Yes.Three basic ingredients are required for a thunderstorm to form: moisture, rising/unstable air, and a lifting mechanism to force this rising air higher and faster. Moisture and unstable air together is typically called humid air.
As air rises it becomes decompressed, which causes it to cool. This cooling can cause water vapor to condense, forming clouds.
