A flood is an inundation of the land by water.

There are three types of flooding. The first type is pluvial. Pluvial is excessive or extreme precipitation, that covers the land. The second type is called fluvial. Fluvial is excessive river or stream flow where a river or stream spills outside its banks onto its adjacent lands. The third type is costal flooding. This is caused by the lunar cycle where extremely high tides inundate the land next to the cost.

<span>The two primary causes are climate change, resulting in increased severity and intensity of rainfall, and new developments on floodplains, which are themselves at risk of flooding, and which increase the risk of flooding downstream.

These include, people, buildings, infrastructure, agriculture, open recreational space and the natural world. In extreme cases flooding may cause a loss of life.</span>

Thunderstorms are the rain bearing cloud produces lightning. It is a violent weather disturbance associated with heavy rain or hail, lightning ,strong winds, thunder etc. Every thunderstorm produces lightning. The basic factors affects the thunderstorms are moisture, unstable air, and lift.

<h3>What are thunderstorms?</h3>

Thunderstorms are ferocious, brief meteorological disturbances that are nearly always accompanied by lightning, thunder, thick clouds, significant amounts of rain or hail, and powerful gusts of wind. Layers of warm, moist air rise in a strong updraft to colder areas of the atmosphere, whereupon thunderstorms form. At that location, the updraft's moisture condenses to create imposing cumulonimbus clouds and, eventually, precipitation. Cooled air columns then descend to the ground and are met by powerful downdrafts and horizontal winds. In parallel, electrical charges build up on cloud particles (water droplets and ice).
