thunderstorms
A thunderstorm is a storm with loud thunder and heavy rain.
When we talk about a thunderstorm, we usually mean a big, dramatic weather event that's happening right now or predicted to happen soon. You might see dark clouds gathering on the horizon, hear rumbling thunder, and feel the air get thick and electric. Thunderstorms can bring strong winds, hail, and even tornadoes in some cases. People often talk about checking the forecast for thunderstorms when planning an outdoor event or trip. If a storm is predicted to be severe, they might cancel plans or take precautions like moving indoors or securing loose objects outside.
noun
A storm consisting of thunder and lightning produced by a cumulonimbus, usually accompanied with heavy rain, wind, and sometimes hail; and in rarer cases sleet, freezing rain, or snow.
