Why are there frequent thunderstorms in summer? How is it formed?

In summer, we often see such a situation. There is a small cotton-like cloud floating in the sky, which is not called cumulonimbus cloud. The predecessor of cumulonimbus clouds is often these cumulonimbus clouds. Rising air can thicken and grow cumulus clouds, forming thick cumulus clouds. At this time, if there are suitable conditions, the cumulonimbus cloud will continue to develop upwards, rising to a height of 7~~ 10 km and becoming a cumulonimbus cloud.

In this way, people often feel extremely sultry, and then suddenly thunder rumbles, lightning thunders, and it rains heavily, and the sky seems to be angry. However, after a while, the thunder went away, the dark clouds dissipated, and the blue sky and white clouds set each other off, which was particularly quiet and beautiful, and the air was particularly fresh. This is a weather phenomenon that we often encounter in summer-thunderstorm.

In summer, there is a lot of water vapor in the air. When the temperature rises in the strong sunlight, the air will rise. After the strong updraft is pushed to 1 to 2 km, a large cumulus block is formed. The rising air makes the cloud thicken and expand, becoming a concentration cloud. At this time, if appropriate conditions exist, the concentration cloud will continue to develop and rise to an altitude of 7 to 10 km, forming a rain cloud. When the strength to stabilize the gas layer or pull up is insufficient, the cloud top will extend in all directions. Before a thunderstorm, we often see that the dark clouds in the sky are very big and expand rapidly. Only children can fill the whole sky.

In this thick rain cloud, there are many water VAP, water droplets and ice crystals, and some water droplets and ice crystals are synchronized with the development of clouds in the cloud. When the rising air cannot bring them to the ground. When they use high-temperature clouds to pass through the clouds, they become raindrops, big ice crystals become snow beads, and then they abuse the shower.

Thunderstorms usually occur in summer because of the strong thermal convection of explosion clouds. Also, due to the strong interference of rain clouds formed by thermal convection, there is usually a phenomenon of avoiding the wind, and the updraft is weak. Rain clouds passed through the clouds, and another cloud burst, so the rain was light. Perseverance, change, is sudden, so it is called thunderstorm.
