Thunderstorms do not form at any particular temperature, but generally speaking the warmer and moister the air is at and near ground level the more likely it is that a thunderstorm will form. Thunderstorms form when lifted air parcels end up warmer than the air surrounding them.

What is the temperature during a thunderstorm?
Depending on many different conditions the temperature on the ground during a thunderstorm can be well below freezing (<32F) to over 100F. Inside the thunderhead clouds themselves the temperature at the bottom is above freezing but at the top the temperature is often well below freezing.
What is a rainstorm with thunder and lighting?
A rainstorm with thunder and lightning is called a thunderstorm. Thunder is the sound produced by lightning, which occurs when electrical charges build up in the atmosphere and then discharge. Lightning is the visible discharge of electricity that occurs during a thunderstorm.
Does a thunderstorm happen when warm air rises or fall?
The opportunity for warm, sticky air is also more likely, but warm air alone cannot trigger thunderstorms.Thunderstorms need an unstable environment and enough moisture to make tall, large clouds and the cumulonimbus cloud that defines a thunderstorm.
Does a thunderstorm strike a car does a thunderstorm strike on one place how long does a thunderstorm strike?
A thunderstorm does not strike anything, it is "lightening" that does that.
What forms a thunderstorm?
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.
What is the temperature for a thunderstorm?
Prior to a Thunderstorm, the temperature can range anywhere from 60 to 90 degrees F but the humidity and dewpoint will be very high. As the Thunderstorm releases rain, the temperature will decrease. It brings cold air down from the top of the Thunderstorm.
How will the temperature most likey be affected by an approaching thunderstorm?
hot
Can hail fall in a thunderstorm?
if the temperature is above 90 degrees ,the answer is no !
What sound occurs because of rapidly expanding air during a thunderstorm?
lightning
What is an ISO thunderstorm?
An ISO thunderstorm refers to an isolated thunderstorm, meaning it occurs by itself and not as part of a larger cluster of storms. These types of thunderstorms are typically short-lived and can produce heavy rainfall, lightning, and gusty winds in localized areas.
What is the temperature during a thunderstorm?
Depending on many different conditions the temperature on the ground during a thunderstorm can be well below freezing (<32F) to over 100F. Inside the thunderhead clouds themselves the temperature at the bottom is above freezing but at the top the temperature is often well below freezing.
What is a summer thunderstorm?
A summer Thunderstorm occurs in the summer, anywhere from April-May to September. They are generally taller and cover more area in width. The occur with high temperature, high humidity, and high dewpoint. They can be short-lived, and rapidly moving if wind. Or they can stall and rain longer or harder. They can bring hail and lots of lightning.
What is a rainstorm with thunder and lighting?
A rainstorm with thunder and lightning is called a thunderstorm. Thunder is the sound produced by lightning, which occurs when electrical charges build up in the atmosphere and then discharge. Lightning is the visible discharge of electricity that occurs during a thunderstorm.
What is the difference between light and lighting?
A tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground. Lightning is a massive discharge of static electricity that occurs during a thunderstorm.
Is a thunderstorm a storm with only lightning?
No, a thunderstorm is a storm that includes lightning, thunder, heavy rain, and strong winds. Lightning is more of a characteristic activity that occurs during a thunderstorm, but it is not the only element of the storm.
What do thunder and lighting have in common?
Thunder and lighting are both products of a thunderstorm. Lighting is a static discharge that usually occurs during a thunderstorm (though it can also occur in some volcanic eruptions) and thunder is the shockwave produced by lightning.
Is cumulus stage of a thunderstorm usually features heavy rains?
The cumulus stage of a thunderstorm is characterized by building cumulus clouds and updrafts of warm, moist air. While heavy rains can occur in the later stages of a thunderstorm, it is not typically associated with the cumulus stage. The heaviest rainfall usually occurs during the mature or dissipating stage of a thunderstorm.
