Winter thunderstorms can occur, but are rare in most places. Winter thunderstorms are rare because it is generally too cold. Thunderstorms are fueled by warm, moist air.

Cold air does not store as much energy, simply from its lower temperature as well as from the fact that it cannot hold as much water vapor as warm air.

Why do thunderstorms occur more in hot places?
