THUNDERSTORMS (Google) - UPSC WITH NIKHIL
THUNDERSTORMS
• Thunderstorms are severe local storms.
• They are of short duration, occurring over a small area but are violent.
• Thunderstorms are caused by intense convection on moist hot days.
• A thunderstorm is a well-grown cumulonimbus cloud producing thunder and lightning.
• When the clouds extend to heights where sub-zero temperature prevails, hails are formed and they come down as hailstorm.
• If there is insufficient moisture, a thunderstorm can generate dust storms.
• From severe thunderstorms sometimes spiraling wind descends like a trunk of an elephant with great force, with very low pressure at the center, causing massive destruction on its way. Such a phenomenon is called a tornado.
