thunderstorms
T-storms, or thunderstorms, are weather phenomena characterized by thunder, lightning, heavy rain, and strong winds. They are caused by the rapid upward movement of warm, moist air and are often associated with large cumulonimbus clouds. Thunderstorms can produce severe weather such as hail, tornadoes, and flash floods.
Yes, there is a rating system for thunderstorms called the Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF-Scale) which rates the intensity of tornadoes spawned by thunderstorms. The scale ranges from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest). Additionally, the Storm Prediction Center issues severe storm watches and warnings based on the potential for severe thunderstorms to occur.
No, a snow storm is not a storm cell. A snow storm is a weather event characterized by heavy snowfall and strong winds, while a storm cell refers to a small, intense cluster of thunderstorms within a larger storm system. The two are different in terms of the type of weather they produce and their characteristics.
Storm clouds are typically cumulonimbus clouds, which are large, dense, and capable of producing thunderstorms and severe weather.
Thunderstorms can reach a height of 65,000 feet or more. However, meteorologists do not measure thunderstorms by height alone, but by intensity. This is most often determined by the storm being strong enough to inflict wind or hail damage.
No. A hurricane is an entirely different class of storm from thunderstorms and tornadoes. However, hurricanes often do produce thunderstorms and tornadoes.
Yes, there are storm chaser groups and individuals who actively track and observe thunderstorms in order to study them, gather data, and capture footage. These storm chasers often use specialized equipment and vehicles to safely navigate severe weather conditions and document their experiences. Some storm chasers also assist in providing early warnings and information to the public about approaching thunderstorms.
A transient, sometimes violent storm of thunder and lightning, often accompanied by rain and sometimes hail.
Thunderstorms can sometimes produce tornadoes as a result of strong updrafts and wind shear within the storm. Tornadoes are often spawned from supercell thunderstorms, which are large, rotating thunderstorms capable of producing severe weather. However, not all thunderstorms produce tornadoes.
A storm with lightning and thunder.
Tornadoes originate from severe thunderstorms, most often a type of rotating storm called a supercell.
No. Tornadoes occur during thunderstorms when the weather is warm. They often occur in a rain-free portion of a storm, but rain and often hail are generally nearby.

Thunderstorms are the most common storm, occurring frequently around the world. Lightning, heavy rain, strong winds, and sometimes tornadoes are associated with thunderstorms. Hurricanes and tornadoes are less common and occur in specific regions and under certain conditions.

Yes. Hail occurs in thunderstorms, though not all thunderstorms.
