Storms are kind of severe weather conditions, which come with strong current of air, lightening and many other forms of atmospheric disturbances. Low atmospheric pressure is the main reason behind the creation of storms. Severe low pressure enveloped by high pressure precedes all types of storms. Strong winds are generally formed when winds from opposite directions meet leading to the creation of storm clouds like cumulonimbus. Depending upon the extent of air pressure and the nature of atmospheric conditions there can be different types of storms.
