Strong winds and low temperatures do not permit the clouds to rise high.As also there are no thermals to lift the cloud top.Rajeshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08511057956916968156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31136724.post-55792428122018987002010-06-14T12:55:30.390+05:302010-06-14T12:55:30.390+05:30Anonymous, ur query reg. thunder activity at start...Anonymous, ur query reg. thunder activity at start and withdrawal of monsoon, reason is that this activity takes place when cold air and hot air meets. i.e the advancing monsoon brings cold air and it meets the hot air rising from the over heated land mass on its frontline.

Keeps the readers well informed.<br /><br />I had one question which I have kept pondering over. Why do we have thunderstorms at the onset and withdrawal times of the Monsoon in Mumbai?
