Is the weather forecast thunderstorm?

The difference between showers and thunderstorms

Showers usually occur in sunny weather in summer without any warning. The sudden rain caught people off guard. Thunderstorms are much stronger than showers, accompanied by electrical discharges. There are often weather phenomena such as strong winds and thunderstorms before coming. The wind came, flying sand and stones, the roof was overturned and the walls were blown down. In the storm, things in the street danced with the wind and fluttered around.

Thunderstorm: Also known as thunderstorm. Shower phenomenon accompanied by lightning. Thundershowers in China are the most frequent in summer, mainly concentrated in the south of the Yangtze River in spring and autumn, and the least in winter. After 10, the thunderstorm in the north of the Yangtze River basically disappeared.

So the weather forecast shows that showers are not thunderstorms.
