Thanks!

It's been a piping hot day so i will be surprised for there not to be a storm today.

heat (very hot) by itself does not produce rain/storms, if it did Australia could delete the word drought from 'the land of drought and flood'

Coming right at me, keep comin' huey! Could do with a bit of rain!

[TheCrazyRussian]

Yes,

It takes all 3 of these to generally create a storm:

1. Heat, Evaporates the moister form lakes, steams, rivers, grass(Only a bit :=): )

2 Moister, For a local storm, Moister is required for the storm. This can also be humidity.

3. A weather front, This is usually what bring the cloud together to create the local storm.

Else:

To create an electric storm, Static electricity must be present in both the sky and the land.

- Sky

+ Bottom of clouds

- Land

This is what Let's electric rods's work.

SORRY about the science lesson I'm obsessed with it!
