<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr">Arabia Weather - Lightning and thunder are natural phenomena that accompany cases of atmospheric instability and weather depressions. They usually occur inside cumulonimbus clouds with vertical growth, as a result of an electrical discharge process, represented by a flash of lightning.

When the electrical discharge is intense between the clouds and a charged body on the ground, the lightning and thunder that accompanies it are then called a lightning bolt.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><br /></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>Thunder</strong> is the sound that is issued accompanying the flash of lightning. The sound of thunder varies from a sharp crack to a low boom, depending on the nature of the lightning and the distance of the listener from the source. As a result of the sudden increase in pressure and temperature due to the occurrence of lightning, this expansion in turn forms sound waves represented by the sound of thunder. .</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> <strong>Lightning hazards:</strong></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> Lightning causes the burning of forests if lightning discharges into trees.
