- The atmospheric conditions that cause severe storms typically develop when warm humid air is pushed upward into the atmosphere by converging surface winds. As the air rises the moisture condenses releasing heat energy called latent heat into the air. It causes the air to become more buoyant allowing it to rise further into the atmosphere, up to a height of 12 kilometres. The water freezes forming ice crystals and potentially hail
- Latent heat refers to the heat that is released into the air when the moisture condenses. It makes the air more buoyant and it rises further with that buoyancy
