Gewitterregen [ Recent ]

: It is frequently accompanied by sudden temperature drops (caused by downdrafts), gusty winds, and occasionally hail. 3. Impacts on Infrastructure and Nature

: Inside the cloud, turbulent updrafts and downdrafts cause water droplets and ice crystals to collide. This interaction generates static electricity (leading to lightning) and allows droplets to grow rapidly into heavy raindrops or hail. 2. Characteristics of the Rain Gewitterregen
