Lightning is an electrical discharge caused by imbalances between storm clouds and the ground, or within the clouds themselves. To learn more, read on here: on.natgeo.com/2IqDxtK
Thank you Team National Geographic for the kind information. I was merely saying that all of us are made by The One and Only Allah. I am aware of the science behind storm cloud formation.

Hi
National Geographic just a quick question what is a thundershower
@@twali159 yeah
@@twali159 ufzxuf
I swear I learn more from TH-cam than I do in college.
must be a shite college
Keep feeding your brain! If you'd like to learn even more about thunderstorms, you can read on here: on.natgeo.com/2IqDxtK
yeah bro😂
Of course
Most of the Schools destroy personality.
Love it when I’m in bed, and during the night, a thunderstorm comes through, just awesome.
Yeah me too!
I love it that it rains I hate it when it's a sunny day I prefer rain not sun
@@Agua_fresca200 that's just weird
@@camdencaires4629 well I hate the sunny days I just want the rain instead of sun I hate sunny days because it's too bright and it's too hot.
CMC_ NAR I agree I love when it’s dark and sad outside
If you're reading this, I hope that day comes real soon where your wildest dreams come true. Where you finally feel that you are at peace with yourself and your surroundings. May your life be full of joy, strength, light, and ease. May you lead a life full of positivity and greatness. You got this.
Thank you dude 😭❤️
Thunderstorms are so cool, so calming. My mind is constantly racing with random thoughts and I have trouble stopping to focus on things but it seems that whenever there's a thunderstorm occuring, my mind clears itself, and I finally feel at peace
I feel you
Real. Me too
Thunderstorm happening rn where I live at scared af rn
Same. Very soothing.
@@thelast7333depends on what kind of thunderstorm
Thunder is not the sound of lightning breaking the sound barrier it is the sudden expansion of hot air around the lightning
Which is basic knowledge.
How they got this wrong, I'm not quite sure.
Adam Bice and considering it is national geographic who made the video is even worse
That should make you question everything they state as fact.
*Sees lightning*
Me, waiting for the thunder: 👁👄👁
But when you see lighting and the sound comes instantly (ʘᗩʘ’)
*zeus would like to find your location...*
@@Lonystal i m p o s s i b l e
@@wacko_draco not really. It has happened
@@BlackRose-gv5qb it's a joke you don't need to explain i already know that it happens sometimes
Apart from the laughter of children, the sound of a thunderstorm is one of the greatest sounds on Earth
Those weather radio alert tones on the other hand nearly gave me a heart attack. Thought that was my own going off.
One of my two favorite sounds is the roar is lightning (there's also such a thing as a hail roar), and also the infamous NWS weather warning sound. I for some reason get super excited when a severe storm or supercell comes, around. The power is exhilarating and awe inspiring. It's unfortunate that the strongest of storms can lead to terrible damage and suffering.
@@surrealsupercell7217 couldnt have said it better myself
Surreal Supercell wait you like siren head sounds
Wait what
Tornadoes although rare, do happen in Australia. Thunderstorms are usually active in the southern Australian states from November through summer but can occur anytime. In the northern tropics such as the northern territory, thunderstorms occur from November to April as part of the wet season.
This is also the time of what us Australians call the cyclone season.
I’m currently sitting through a massive Aussie storm haha, though I’m a little more south in nsw
in north nsw, thunderstorm season starts september and last through march/april. October and November typically has strong storms. we even had a tornado last october that damaged a few houses
You learn something new every day! Always important to stay safe during a thunderstorm, and they frighten me!
Wow. Nice things to learn.. These 101 videos are good. Thanks natgeo for awesome video...
P.S:Have you uploaded video about hurricane before?
they've uploaded 2 videos about hurricanes before
Yes! You can find out more about hurricanes here: th-cam.com/video/LlXVikDkyTg/w-d-xo.html
I love this nice simple kind of knowledge upgrading videos
yeah!
it’s thundering really loud outside right now and it’s freaking me out
Chelsea Kay same 😭😭
Maybe they were elevated storms~ they're louder than surface based ones
Chelsea Kay what is that 😅🤣
No, Pecos Hank was supposed to narrate this.
Pecos is the greatest
I know right
That'd be awesome!!
TRUE!
My most favorite planet would always be the Earth...so beautifully complicatedly perfect for us to live. I love you so much, Earth...
it sure is the perfect planet, and for all we know it's the only planet of it's kind.
Do you know who made the earth 🌎
umm lkiterally all toehr plaents witha tmoshpere have thunder
@@albertineminoose8325 what*
@@albertineminoose8325
Made? The answers would be depends... Religious people would say God, non religious people would say it just happened...you know, physics and stuffs.
thank you for this video :) respect to 💓🌎 and thunderstorms 🌨️⚡️
I live in Los Angeles, and we rarely get thunderstorms. Videos like these give me my fix, and make me so happy. Wish we had more weather like this out here.
There’s a thunderstorm right now
@@anonymoushuman8443 he said "rarely" and "more weather" as in it still happens but he wanted it to happen more often. Talking about " more often", you replied almost 2 years later soo ya
@@spark2269 ok
You could live somewhere that has them all the time for 1/3rd of the cost that you pay now to live in LA 😁
Thank you Nat geo, I love anything and everything to do with the study of storms and weather! Thanks for sharing!
This is scary but so much to learn
I just wannasay earth is amazing..but people working for national geographic channel are even more...🤩
There is a pure beauty in these documentaries🕊️🕊️
Amazing yet deadly and/or costly at times. It provides yet takes. Be safe everyone. Thanks NG
I love black clouds with thunder just like that supercell
I hate thunderstorms! My family, and I went through several last summer, and it seemed like all those storms were very violent. Sometimes we'd just get through one, and we'd get another one
i have learned much more than being in a 1 hour class.
exactly!
You literally didn't learn anything aside from like 3 facts..
@@jasonpeng5798 ;-;
@@jasonpeng5798 bruh stfu
@@jasonpeng5798 I learned like 27 facts
I live in Florida and its dangerous around the summer times, to much thunderstorms.
theres been a thunder storm in my area for the past 6 hours i woke up at 2:14 am to a thunder strike and its still been going
this video is very helpful
Ever since I was 8 One of My biggest dreams is to be a cameraman for National Geographic, love what you guys do
Mother Nature never fails to amaze me
¡ Very important info!
Thanks NatGeo
Peace and love.
They are definitely one of the most exciting weather events to watch
Exciting yes, but not fun to hear.
So true
This is so awesome. Imagine if they taught about stuff like this back in school. This is so informative.
They actually do teach this at school
@@daniyalkhizar😂😂😂
here after experiencing probably the biggest and scariest thunderstorm in my life. Legit had to freeze in one place and just close my eyes and ears.
Thunderstorms going on right now in Tracy,California 8/16/20 @ 7:25 a.m.
You didn't need to put your exact location out.
I love this video
Hello friends this is 88 Cinema, what a clouding moving, thunderstorm, high speed winds & environmental Documentary. I always think only about good things it takes you to another world full of happiness and there you meet only ur closer and good friends omg words can't describe how beatiful this video. Thank you so much.
btw they dont always grow above a surface of water, most of the times when its a hot day they occur most of the times on a hot surface such in tornado alley where they reach cape values above 5000 j/kg, so especially in spring and summer theyre mostly common on land instead of sea, ocean or lake
Good to know
Not gonna lie I love thunderstorms, the pretty lightning and soft rumbles of thunder before coming loud
I like the lightning alone, even if it highly stimulates me.
when the water is get hot the water evaporates and turns into a cloud and when clouds mix together it got made a rains and sometimes when the clouds are too very cold it made a snow (a frozen water) and when raindrops formed again into a puddles and sun gets hotted again and it evaporates back
Thanks I might have a test on this. Who knows if it helps but always good to learn
My favorite thing in the whole world! I love it when there is a big thunder and it shakes the ground! Makes me go primal lol
I like thunderstorms as long as I'm in my house and thunderstorms that aren't violent. I love thunderstorm days because that's when it's the most fun days to watch movies or play video games.
Yeah
اللهم صلي على محمد وال محمد❤
I love how nothing in nature is wasted, instead everything is re-used and recycled 🌍♻️
I hate academical studies but I love learning, thank you nat geo for your amazing content!
Thunderstorms are the environment keeper just like hurricanes.
Although they had brought a lot of disaster to communities, they had maintained the balance between electricity and planet.
I think nature is the natural creator on the Earth.
You said it
Thunderstorms are much more beautiful than a sunny day
Her description of how thunder forms is incorrect. Rapid heating of the surrounding air (created from the lightning bolt) causes the air to expand very quickly creating an air pressure wave (similar to a blown up paper bag being burst).
I am from India and there are not be any tornadoes here.
So I want to ask you a question...
Are tornadoes come everyday in USA?
I did not plan on seeing my small town of Columbus, Kansas in a NatGeo video.
T
i love how i got assingned these in class exactly 2 years after it was uploaded
2021 BOY
*beautiful and terrifying*
Wonderful nature . Good narrator . 👍
A big thank you to Nat Geo! I have a deep passion for studying storms and weather in all their forms. Your sharing is truly appreciated
hi need some help regarding the thunderstorm occurance
Yo I love this video, can’t wait to go to college to study for atmospheric science and meteorology
I love these videos so much, thank you!
First and Foremost, thanks NatGeo for sharing such a priceless information. Secondly, for me one the best natural events that can exist. Whenever I imagine a storm or see a one, I wish I could be able to be laying down on my warm and comfortable bed. :)
I always enjoy thunderstorms especially during the spring where the weather is nice so I get to have the windows open and listen to it during the night and helps me fall asleep really good 🌩🌩🌩😴💤💤
Ones abt to happen were I'm at
I live in Texas and they're most common during the spring. But when I visit southeastern states they're more common during the summer and pop up randomly in the afternoon.
Thank you for this video it actually taught me a lot!😊😸
0:33 ZEUS WHO UPSET YOU???
Well done national geographic ,very well explained 👍.
I love thunderstorms so much but i live in california so we get like 1 or 2 per year lol. Also the roar right before hail starts, is the best sound ever, maybe even better than thunder rumbling
I watch rain and thunder storm videos to relax and fall asleep
Singapore Weather always have severe Thunderstorms also produce Watersprouts even.
I love thunderstorms ❤️
I love thunderstorms. They're very exciting.
But always be aware that they can also be deadly too
@@stephensnell1379 that's true but it really depends on the storm. If the winds are heavy but not damaging, the rain is not flooding, and lightning only strikes within the clouds and not to the ground, those type of storms are nice and peaceful
Very informative video!
GREEN LIGHTNING: During a big thunderstorm over Indianapolis just two weeks ago I went out to watch. Lightning was flashing pretty heavily not very far away. Mostly sidewise in the sky. It started feeling really weird out so I went back inside and stood by the big picture window watching. Looking as straight up as you can from a window, I saw a green🍏 flash just behind a layer of clouds. What the heck was that? Then seconds later the base of a huge thunderstorm that was directly above me opened up and a bright green funnel cloud poked it's head below the clouds. I was looking straight up inside a neon green tornado inside the huge thunderhead! Slowly, (a couple seconds), the funnel cloud pulled back up and the color and the opening were gone. I am 68 and I have never seen anything like it before in my life. I think I may be one of the few people on the planet that has seen that. Wild!
So a storm is like the earth sweating basically
One time I almost got struck by lightning but ran on my porch(that has a roof) to get safe.
I am Watching From Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩
Finally, I get an explanation of why clouds don't drop rain constantly, and from a soothing voice, too.
Uhhh bro ??!!
Hey! I recognize that layout in the first radar image. That's the 4 states area of KS, MO, OK, and AR.
I get a lot of squall lines in Massachusetts USA, I’ve never experienced a tornado I feel like I’m missing out in something
Great explanation! Thank you NatGeo)
You mentioned the planets balance of energy, but no mention of sprites? Maybe you have a snippet on them coming, I think they are not only quite interesting but also worth noting.
Once I was outside and it was a bit of raining., suddenly a splendour light came to me from thunderstorms.( it was just light ) ..I collapsed, I thought it would be my last movement, got so scared. ...
After that incident ,in rainy season I don't go out
Another great video, guys. Thanks.
I never seen a thunder storm before but I just saw one
Thunderstorms are a lot more common than hurricanes.

Great video, very well done!
Really awesome, it's easier than class lecture
mega ultra big strom ⛈
In the southeastern US, there's random afternoon thunderstorms almost every other day of the week during the summertime. They can be relaxing and nuisances at the same time.
Thx you so much I'm glad I found this Because I am trying to Overcome my Fear of Storms.
When nature is angry then everyone quite😶
I’m amazed by thunder
