We had to first learn and do research about the weather then we got to choose what weather feature we wanted to do I chose thunderstorms because it is cool.
Thunderstorms
Thunderstorms are one of the most deadliest weather features known to mankind and the attributes such as lightning, Thunder and much more when you see a thundercloud take cover and don’t go outside.
Lightning is an electric current within a thundercloud way up in the sky many small bits of ice bump into each other as they move around in the air. All of those collisions create an electric charge. After a while, the whole cloud fills up with electrical charges.
The positive charges or protons form at the top of the cloud and the negative charges or electrons form at the bottom of the cloud. Since opposites things that causes a positive charge to build up on the ground beneath the cloud. The grounds electrical charge concentrates around anything that sticks up such as mountains, people and trees. The charge coming up from these points in a few minutes connects with a charge reaching down from the clouds and Zap... lightning strikes!
Now let's talk clouds in a Thunderstorm the clouds change colour from a pure white to b a droopy grey. Because rain clouds are grey instead of white because of their thickness or height. Also when the cloud gets bigger it blocks the sun.
Rain is one of the most common weather features in the world that people get. Sometimes it is a good thing that it rains because it helps grow crops and if their was no rain their would be droughts. Sometimes rain is a bad thing because it can cause floods the flood count for this year so far 113 and counting
Did you know that wet and damp conditions can actually cause for people to get allergies. That’s because the human body weighs pollen down and prevents it from spreading through the air. Dry and windy days on the other hand, tend to be hard on people with allergies because pollen can float through the air more easily.
Let’s talk wind did you know that Wind is the flow of gases on Earth it refers to the movement of air.It is caused by differences in air pressure. Air rushes from high pressure areas to lower ones Short bursts of wind moving at high speeds are known as gusts. With powerful gust winds it is when it is strong for a bit the it dies down then eventually it will come t again the the strong winds will stop.
Now let's talk about Thunder it should be the main thing in a thunderstorm. It is caused by lightning depending in the distance and the nature of the lightning. Thunder can range from a sharp crack to a long loud rumble. The sudden increase in pressure and the heat from lighting makes rapid growth of the surrounding air and within a bolt of lightning .
Thunderstorms occur when the sea breeze or mountains. They can occur all year round they are scary and I hope that one does not happen where I am. Mainly they come in summer and spring i think that it is good that because in Spring and summer we need that extra kick from the hot and normal.

With powerful gust winds it is when it is strong for a bit the it dies down then eventually it will come t again the the strong winds will stop.
I enjoy writing about Thunderstorms because of all the attributes that a thunderstorm has. My favourite one is rain,clouds and lightning like to think about what will happen next lightning or rain.
