afternoon storms
Post-noon weather disturbances
Afternoon storms are thunderstorms that develop in the late part of the day, typically forming when morning sun heats the ground and causes warm, moist air to rise.
Common in tropical and subtropical climates during summer months, they follow a predictable pattern—clear mornings giving way to clouds and rain by mid-afternoon.
