A storm happens when two different air masses, one warm and one cold, meet each other. This meeting can cause all sorts of weather, like rain, hail, snow, lightning, strong winds, and sometimes even tornadoes! Storms can be gentle or very strong and dangerous.
There are many kinds of storms. Some of them are:
Sometimes, storms can produce hail. Hail is made of balls of ice that fall from the sky. These ice balls can be very strong and can cause a lot of damage. They can ruin crops on farms and even break windows or dent cars in cities. It’s important to stay safe and find shelter during a hailstorm to avoid getting hurt.

Weather Diary: Start a weather diary for a week! Each day, observe the sky and note down what kind of weather you see. Is it sunny, rainy, or windy? Draw a picture of the sky and write a sentence about how it makes you feel. At the end of the week, discuss with your family or friends how the weather changed and what kind of storms, if any, you noticed.
Storm in a Jar: Create your own storm in a jar to see how different air masses interact. You will need a clear jar, water, shaving cream, and food coloring. Fill the jar with water, add a layer of shaving cream on top, and then drop some food coloring onto the shaving cream. Watch as the colors move through the “cloud” and into the water, simulating how rain falls from clouds during a storm.
Storm Safety Plan: With the help of an adult, create a storm safety plan for your home. Discuss what you should do if a storm happens, where the safest place in your house is, and what items you might need, like a flashlight or a first-aid kit. Practice your plan with your family to make sure everyone knows what to do to stay safe during a storm.

A storm occurs when two air masses of different temperatures and pressures collide, leading to phenomena such as rain, hail, snow, lightning, strong winds, or even tornadoes. Storms can vary in intensity, ranging from mild to highly destructive. There are many types of storms, including thunderstorms, sandstorms, and blizzards.
Sometimes, storms produce hail, which consists of balls of ice that fall from the sky with great force. Hail can be very damaging to the environment, destroying crops and causing damage in urban areas, such as breaking windows or denting cars. It’s important to take cover during hailstorms to avoid injury.
