Let us pray,

Prayer before Study


Creator of all things, true Source of light and wisdom,
lofty origin of all being, graciously let a ray of Your brilliance
penetrate into the darkness of my understanding
and take from me the double darkness
in which I have been born,
an obscurity of both sin and ignorance.
Give me a sharp sense of understanding, a retentive memory,
and the ability to grasp things correctly and fundamentally.
Grant me the talent of being exact in my explanations,
and the ability to express myself
with thoroughness and charm.
Point out the beginning, direct the progress,
and help in completion, through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

THUNDERSTORM
THUNDERSTORM
 a weather condition generally
characterized by the heavy rain,
thunder, lightning and possibly a
tornado
 Often occur in equatorial regions
 Happen mostly in the afternoon or evening
during summer
REQUIREMENTS FOR THE
FORMATION OF THUNDERSTORM

All thunderstorms need the same


ingredients: moisture, unstable air and lift.
Moisture usually comes from oceans.
Unstable air forms when warm, moist air is
near the ground and cold, dry air is above.
Lift comes from differences in air density. It
pushes unstable air upward, creating a tall
thunderstorm cloud.
THUNDERSTORM LIFE CYCLE
1. Developing or cumulus
stage begins with the
upward growth of a
cumulus cloud due
to the continuous
updraft and supply of
moisture
THUNDERSTORM LIFE CYCLE
2. Mature Stage – indicated by the initiation
of strong downward current of air
( downdraft ) and by precipitation
• Thunderstorm keeps growing until it
reaches the tropopause
• It lasts for 10 -20 minutes, produces
heavy rain, frequent lightning and
thunder, tropical cyclones and
occasionally hail
THUNDERSTORM LIFE CYCLE
3. Final or Dissipating Stage – the updrafts
are prevented by the cool air of the
dominant downdrafts in the lower portion of
the cloud.
- This stage lasts less than an hour and
usually causes very minimal damage
THUNDERSTORM WARNINGS
HOW TO BE SAFE
DURING A THUNDERSTORM
Remember the
“When phrase,
thunder roars,
go indoors.”
• Find a safe, enclosed shelter when you hear
thunder.
• Safe shelters include homes, offices, shopping
centers, and hard-top vehicles with the
windows rolled up.
• Seek shelter immediately, even if caught out in
