A thunderstorm is often accompanied by strong winds, heavy rain, and lightning. They come from cumulonimbus clouds and develop in the troposphere. They result from rapid upwards movement of warm, moist air.
Cumulonimbus clouds are associated with thunderstorms.
Not all isolated thunderstorms develop into severe thunderstorms. Severe thunderstorms are characterized by specific criteria such as strong winds, large hail, and tornadoes, which may or may not be present in isolated thunderstorms. Factors like atmospheric instability, moisture content, and wind shear can contribute to the development of severe weather conditions.
On average, only about 1-2% of thunderstorms produce tornadoes. Tornado formation is a complex process that requires specific atmospheric conditions to be met, which are not present in most thunderstorms.
you can work this out reasonably accurately and we used to so this for senior school physics. The earth has a finite defined capacity, and charge. Taking into account the average voltage in a lightning strike, it gives an answer of approximately two thousand thunderstorms occurring at any one time, somewhere in the world. Sounds amazing, but the world is big!
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.
In russia we eat the thunderstorms, that's why they haven't come back for years
Tornadoes need thunderstorms to form.
Thunderstorms can ocour anywhere in britain
Thunderstorms. Tornadoes are a product of thunderstorms while a hurricane is composed of thunderstorms.
Yes, tornadoes are produced by thunderstorms.
Thunderstorms can bring tornadoes and heavy precipitation.
No, thunderstorms produce downbursts.
Ordinary Thunderstorms was created in 2009.
Well, no where on Earth has thunderstorms every day but the most place where they have thunderstorms are in Hawaii.
Scattered thunderstorms are thunderstorms in the 30-40% chance category. They are generally weak, widespread short thunderstorms that turn on and off due to a storm system moving over the area.
At one time, it was believed that thunderstorms were battles waged by Zeus. Thunderstorms occurred when Jotnar fought with Thor. Later, thunderstorms were thought to have been caused by an angry god.
No. Altocumulus do not cause thunderstorms, but altocumulus castellanus can be a sign that thunderstorms will develop later in the day.
