Thunderstorms typically include lightning as a result of electrical discharge between clouds or between a cloud and the ground. However, in some cases, thunderstorms can occur without visible lightning due to certain weather conditions, such as the absence of sufficient charge separation or the lightning occurring within the cloud itself, known as "intra-cloud" lightning.

What are thunderstorms similar to?
lightning storms
What happen when tornado and lightning happen at the same time?
Tornadoes and lightning can occur simultaneously during severe thunderstorms. If a tornado and lightning occur at the same time, the combination can increase the potential dangers and risks associated with the storm. Lightning can strike the tornado itself or nearby, causing additional hazards like fires, property damage, and injuries.
Do thunderstorms cause lighting?
