One major part of a storm are its clouds.

There are three main types of clouds they are:

Cumulus clouds are made when warm air rises until it reaches a layer of cool, dry air where moisture condenses in to water droplets.

Cirrus clouds form when moist air is forced in to the atmosphere’s higher levels and is replaced by freezing water.

Cumulonimbus clouds are formed when strong winds shed and flatten the top of a normal cloud.

INTERESTING FACT:

According to weather lore a red sky at night is a sailor’s delight, but red at morning sailor take warning.

All of the storms, all over the world have an affect on at least one person. You never know when that person will be you. So learn everything you can about storms, and be aware.
