Weather of Arabia - Thunderstorms are characterized by the force of the accompanying wind, which is called "downburst" or whose force varies from one storm to another.

The danger of this type of wind is that its direction is towards the surface of the Earth with great destructive energy.

How does the falling wind originate?

Downwinds are caused by a dry wind blowing towards the thunderstorm, which causes strong cooling due to the evaporation of water vapor, which means downstream air currents toward the ground due to the difference in the volume and density of cold and hot air. Downwind winds in some thunderstorms may reach 240 km / h
