Evaporation.
Thunderstorms typically form in areas where warm, moist air near the Earth's surface rises and cools, condensing into clouds. As the air rises, it can create instability in the atmosphere, leading to the development of thunderstorms, which may produce lightning, thunder, heavy rain, and sometimes hail. These conditions are often found in regions with high humidity and varying temperatures.
Cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds typically form where warm air rises rapidly. The warm air cools as it ascends, causing water vapor to condense and form clouds. Cumulus clouds are puffy and often indicate fair weather, while cumulonimbus clouds are larger and can bring thunderstorms.
When warm air expands and rises, it creates an area of low pressure. As the warm air rises, it cools and condenses, forming clouds and potentially leading to the development of thunderstorms or other weather systems.
Thunderheads, which are large cumulonimbus clouds associated with thunderstorms, are typically seen on warm and humid afternoons when there is instability in the atmosphere. They can form quickly and reach great heights due to strong updrafts. Thunderheads often signal the potential for severe weather, including thunderstorms, heavy rain, lightning, hail, and even tornadoes.

Evaporation.
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)
In simplest terms, thunderstorms get their energy from warm, moist air. The warmer and more humid the air, the more energy is available.
Cold front. When the cold air collides with warm, moist air, the humid air is forced up violently and forms thunderstorms.
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.
A period of warm, humid weather usually ends in thunderstorms in the UK.
Thunderstorms are most likely to form when the air is warm and humid.
Thunderstorms form when warm, moist air rises rapidly and cools, leading to condensation and cloud formation. Humid days provide the necessary moisture in the atmosphere for thunderstorms to develop and fuel their intensity. The high humidity levels help create unstable conditions that support the rapid upward movement of air needed for thunderstorm formation.
Warm, humid air which rises in an unstable environment. Often, this happens as a cold front sweeps into a warm, humid region, driving up the warm, moist air into a region where it quickly condenses due to temperature and pressure changes.
they are likely to develop at warm humid areas.
