Thunderstorms: A Recipe - The Introduction

Votes:0
Any cloud with a lot of moisture can create the watered-down soup we call rain. But it takes a special recipe with the right ingredients to make a thunderstorm. Thunderstorms are one of nature's most exotic weather dishes. Unlike ordinary rain storms, thunderstorms have a delicate balance of airborne water vapor that is whipped by convection cells, and then chilled to the point of condensation. The newly created precipitation is combined with wind and lightning to create a distinct and flavorful storm that is known all over the world as a thunderstorm. Thunderstorms can vary according to recipe or ingredients. Some special thunderstorms have hail or powerful wind gusts added to them. A powerful and spicy thunderstorm will include a tornado.
