Arab Weather - Sinan Khalaf - Can Australia's Forest Fires Produce Huge Thunderstorms? The answer is yes, of course. Hot air from forest fires will quickly rise upward towards the atmosphere, in the form of hot upward currents reaching cooler high layers of air compared to the upward air. It condenses after this difference in thunderstorm clouds.

There is also another reason that supports the formation of thunder clouds without the difference in temperature, which is the ash atoms carried by the rising currents towards the atmosphere.

But the danger of these clouds lies on the other side of the cloud, as they will be subject to thunderstorms and thunderbolts that will ignite new fires elsewhere in the extended forests in Australia, which makes controlling them very difficult.
