There is no lightning or thunder during the majority of typhoons. However, lightning and thunder have been occasionally reported during typhoons.

What causes lots of lightning but no thunder during a storm?

Lightning without thunder during a storm is typically caused by a phenomenon known as heat lightning. Heat lightning occurs when lightning strikes far away and the sound of thunder does not travel as far as the light from the strike. This can happen when the storm is too far away for the sound waves to reach your location, resulting in the appearance of lightning without the accompanying thunder.


Is thunder electricity?

Thunder is not electricity itself, but rather the sound that results from the rapid expansion and contraction of air heated by a lightning bolt. Lightning is a discharge of electricity that occurs during a thunderstorm, which can produce the sound we hear as thunder.


What is lightning without thunder?

Lightning is a visible discharge of electricity, often seen during a thunderstorm. Thunder is the sound produced by the rapid expansion of air surrounding a lightning bolt. So, without thunder, lightning would still be the sudden and bright flash of electricity in the sky.


Lighting without Thunder?

Lightning without thunder is not possible since thunder is directly caused by lightning. When lightning strikes, it superheats the air around it, causing it to rapidly expand and create a shock wave that we perceive as thunder. The closer you are to the lightning, the louder the thunder will be.


Why does thunder usually occur during storms that have lightning flashes?

Opposite electrical charges inside storm clouds separate, causing lightning to flash towards Earth. Lightning has enough energy to heat the air all around it. This sudden burst of heat is what causes the noise we know as thunder.
