How Does Type of Storms Work?

Storms are like big, loud parties in the sky that happen when air and water get all mixed up.

Imagine you're playing with your toys on a sunny day, and suddenly it starts to rain, that's like the sky saying, "Let’s have a party!" Now, depending on what kind of guests come to the party, you get different kinds of storms.

What Kinds of Storms Are There?

  1. Rainy storms are like when your friend splashes water everywhere in the bathtub, just regular rain, but sometimes it's really hard and fast.
  2. Thunderstorms happen when the sky gets extra excited, there’s lightning (like a flash from a camera), thunder (like a loud boom), and maybe even some rain or hail (which is like tiny ice balls falling from the sky).
  3. Tornadoes are like when the wind starts spinning really fast, almost like a giant whirlpool in the air, it can pick up everything in its path!

Each storm has its own fun way of making things go wild, just like how different games make your playtime exciting!
