The most intense stage of a thunderstorm. It begins when precipitation reaches the ground and is characterized by both an updraft and a downdraft. This is the stage in which you can expect heavy rainfall, hail, lightning, and high wind speeds. This stage ends when there is no longer any updraft and the cloud begins to dissipate.
The most intense stage. It is characterized by hazards such as heavy rainfall or hail, strong winds, lightning, and sometimes tornados.
The mature stage is the middle of three stages of thunderstorm development. It does not have sub-stages. The stages of a thunderstorm are Cumulus, Mature, and Dissipating.
Cumulonimbus
mature stage
When precipitation reaches the ground.
cumulus
1. Cumulus Stage 2. Mature Stage 3. Dissipating Stage
1. Cumulus stage 2. Mature stage 3. Dissipating stage
Just 'the mature stage'.
The cumulus stage, in which the thunderstorm develops, the mature stage, in which the thunderstorm is most intense, and the dissipating stage, in which the thunderstorm declines and ends.
The cumulus stage, in which the thunderstorm develops, the mature stage, in which the thunderstorm is most intense, and the dissipating stage, in which the thunderstorm declines and ends.

cumulus
1. Cumulus Stage 2. Mature Stage 3. Dissipating Stage
The Cumulus stage, in which air ascends due to convection and clouds form.
Convection cause the rising of air, rising air expands due to decreased pressure, which causes it to cool, which causes condenation. Condensation = rapid cloud building. The cumulus stage is characterized by updraft only.
