In a convective storm, warm moist air rises and cools. The moisture in it condenses, this releases heat energy and drives the convection. In some cases a positive-feedback loop develops: condensation increases the convection in a storm, which then draws in more warm moist air to condense and increase convection even more. The moisture from convective storms, having released its energy upon condensation, falls back down as rain. In some cases the rain can result in flooding. Other hazards can result depending on the situation.
In the tropics, such clusters of convective storms can organize into tropical cyclones such as hurricanes and typhoons. The air drawn into these storms by convection and low pressure can reach great speeds capable of causing massive damage and driving seawater onto land.
In the middle latitudes convection in individual storms can be stronger. Under the right conditions the energy released by the convection takes on new forms that can result in dangerous lightning, damaging winds, hail, and tornadoes.
