summer storm
Hot-weather thunder event
A summer storm is a weather event occurring during warmer months, typically characterized by sudden onset, heavy rain, thunder, and lightning.
These storms often develop quickly from afternoon heat and humidity, delivering intense but short-lived downpours: We got caught in a summer storm on the way home.
The phrase evokes dramatic skies and welcome relief from summer heat.
