When you see a big lighting bolt zap across the sky. Then you hear a loud roar, that is the start of a thunderstorm. Usally a thunderstorm is on a humored and mosit day. A thunderstorm is caused when the sun heats up the moist air in a certin area. Then the air is cooled by expansion. Once the air is cool enough it forms water vapour/culumus clouds. Once the culumus clouds have enough water vapour in the clouds it can't hold it anymore and falls to the ground.
