What are the characteristics of thunderstorms in summer?

1. Thunderstorms in summer are characterized by heavy rainfall intensity and lightning phenomenon, and belong to strong convective weather. Judging from the time of day, thunderstorms in summer mostly occur in the afternoon and evening. Much more violent than a shower, accompanied by discharge. When a thunderstorm comes, there are often strong winds and thunderstorms. Thunderstorms are usually paroxysmal, and there are often strong winds. Sometimes accompanied by tornadoes and hail. Persistent and intense thunderstorms can often reach the level of heavy rain.

2. There are more opportunities on land when the thermal convection is strong in summer afternoon, forming a "thermal thunderstorm". At sea, thunderstorms often occur at night because of the slow cooling of the sea surface and unstable air at night. Thunderstorms near the front can occur simultaneously. In mountainous areas, topographic precipitation can occur. The most active areas of thunderstorms in the world are the tropics and mountains.
