Thunderstorm :
A storm with lightning and thunder is called a thunderstorm. It is a high-speed wind that is formed due to the convection of air in hot and humid areas.
Precautions to be taken during thunderstorms:
We should stay inside a home or large building, or inside an all-metal vehicle
We should avoid using the telephone, except for emergencies.
We should not stand underneath a natural lightning rod such as a tall, isolated tree
Get out of and away from open water
We should stay away from wire fences, clotheslines, metal pipes, rails, and other metallic paths which could carry lightning to you from some distance away.
We should not stand in small isolated sheds or other small structures in open areas.
We know that thunderstorms are electrically charged. Umbrellas mostly contain metal parts that are good conductors of electricity. So we should not carry umbrellas.
Formation of the cyclone from thunderstorm:
A thunderstorm is a stormy form of weather characterized by frequent lightning and the sound of its thunder. The cloud type associated with thunderstorms is the cumulonimbus. This kind of weather is generally accompanied by heavy rain or hail or sometimes no precipitation at all. A very severe rotating thunderstorm can become a cyclone.
