Thunderstorms are weather phenomena characterized by the presence of thunder and lightning. They are caused by the rapid upward movement of warm, moist air, which cools and condenses to form cumulonimbus clouds. Within these clouds, strong updrafts and downdrafts create a dynamic and turbulent environment, leading to the development of thunderstorms.
