In simplest terms, thunderstorms get their energy from warm, moist air. The warmer and more humid the air, the more energy is available.
Warm fronts are usually associated with rain showers. Thunderstorms can develop, but are fairly uncommon.
Thunderstorms are most likely to form during warm weather. In simple terms, the heat is their source of energy.
In order for thunderstorms to form the air must be unstable, which generally requires the air near the ground to be warm and moist. This warm, moist air provides the energy that powers thunderstorms. The warmer and more humid the air is, the more energy is available for thunderstorms.
Thunderstorms occur when there is warm air that rises. This air must also be damp or moisturized. Therefore, areas that are warm and humid are usually where thunderstorms occur. (These places are most commonly found around the equator)
Thunderstorms form when a cold front hits a warm front, and the resulting effect creates thunderstorms (Big, dark clouds that produce thunder, lightning, rain, hail, and tornados O.o)
The warm air over the Earth's surface rises and pushes the clouds higher.
Warm fronts are usually associated with rain showers. Thunderstorms can develop, but are fairly uncommon.
No single air mass "causes" tornadoes. This is Tornadoes form within thunderstorms. Thunderstorms form best when there is plentiful warm, moist air. So, a arm, moist air mass is usually present. Significant tornado activity, however, usually results from the thunderstorms that form near the boundaries between air masses. Usually where a warm, moist air mass meets a cooler or drier air mass.

A period of warm, humid weather usually ends in thunderstorms in the UK.

Coldfronts occur when heavy cold air displaces lighter warm air, pushing it upward. Cumulus clouds form and usually grow into thunderstorms during cold fronts
