TeachMeFinance.com - explain Thunderstorm Thunderstorm The term 'Thunderstorm' as it applies to the area of Earth observation can be defined as ' Local storm resulting from warm humid air rising in an unstable environment. Air may start moving upward because of unequal surface heating, the lifting of warm air along a frontal zone, or diverging upper-level winds (these diverging winds draw air up beneath them). The scattered thunderstorms that develop in the summer are called air-mass thunderstorms because they form in warm, maritime tropical air masses away from other weather fronts. More violent severe thunderstorms form in areas with a strong vertical wind shear that forces the updraft into the mature stage, the most intense stage of the thunderstorm'. The term 'Thunderstorm' as it applies to the area of the weather can be defined as ' A local storm produced by a cumulonimbus cloud and accompanied by lightning and thunder'.
