⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡ Thunderstorms happen when we have a particular type of big stormy cloud called a ” cumulonimbus” cloud – these are really, really tall clouds that extend a long way up into the air. During a thunderstorm, it often rains heavily or sometimes you see hail stones falling from the sky ❄ ❄ you will also often see lightning and hear thunder rumbling!
