La foudre est associée à l'activité convective. Les observateurs professionnels classifient la sévérité de la convection par la présence du tonnerre (et donc de la foudre). Les cumulonimbus, les nuages convectifs les plus importants, produisent communément de la foudre. On les appelle donc des nuages d'orage. 2, record 1, French, - activit%C3%A9%20convective
