Thunder and lightning are two characteristics of a thunderstorm, a particular sort of storm. It is brought on by warm, moist air rising quickly, which can lead to an atmosphere that is unstable. Warm air can cool and condense as it climbs, creating clouds. These clouds have the potential to produce lightning, which is an electrical discharge that happens when the negative charges at the cloud's base are drawn to the positive charges on the ground. We hear thunder because lightning can generate a shock wave by causing a current to travel through the air. Other types of precipitation, such as rain, sleet, and hail, can also be produced by thunderstorms. They can happen at any time of the year, with a wide range of strength and length, however, the spring and summer are when they happen most frequently.
