Assuming that an initial 'trigger' force is present, the conditions most likely to result in the formation of thunderstorms are
Domanda 552, Meteorology - ATPL - Airline Transport Pilot license
| High surface temperature, low dew point and high dry adiabatic lapse rate |
| Rapid orographic cooling of cloud containing ice crystals |
| High relative humidity and instability throughout a deep layer |
| Intense surface heating, anticyclonic pressure system and relatively high freezing level |
