Daytime Thunderstorm

Usually a rainstorm ruins your plans that involve the outdoors but sometimes it's just a beautiful gift from the sky. The cool rain can pour for a few minutes or a few hour, watering all the flowers and bushes and trees below. A thunderstorm, also known as an electrical storm, a lightning storm, thundershower or simply a storm is a form of turbulent weather characterized by the presence of lightning and its acoustic effect on the Earth's atmosphere known as thunder. Thunderstorms are usually accompanied by strong winds, heavy rain and sometimes snow, sleet, hail, or no precipitation at all. Those that cause hail to fall are called hailstorms.
