Summer is the most common season for thunderstorms, with thunder and lightning and heavy rain. This is because in summer, the water vapor moves faster and the clouds move more violently, which causes the weather to change very quickly, but it usually comes violently, and then it will gradually decrease until the rain stops, which is generally very heavy, and some even reach the level of heavy rain.
