This feature of a planet's environment is part of the Planetology Assessment and includes all weather-based conditions.

Storm, definition
A storm is any disturbed state of a body especially affecting its surface, and strongly implying a wind force. It may be marked by significant disruptions and lightning (a thunderstorm), heavy precipitation (snowstorm, rainstorm), heavy freezing rain (ice storm), strong winds (tropical cyclone, windstorm), or wind transporting some substance through the atmosphere as in a dust storm, blizzard, sandstorm, etc. Firestorms are usually a form of a wind storm that propagates temperature conditions that cause fires

Storms have the potential to harm lives and property via storm surge, heavy rain or snow causing flooding or traffic impairment, lightning, wildfires, and vertical wind shear. Systems with significant rainfall and duration help alleviate drought in places they move through.

Desert storms are often accompanied by violent winds and pass rapidly. The English word comes from Proto-Germanic *sturmaz meaning "noise, tumult".

Lightning storm
Storms are created when a center of low pressure develops with the system of high pressure surrounding it. This combination of opposing forces can create winds and result in the formation of storm clouds such as cumulonimbus. Small localized areas of low pressure can form from hot air rising off hot ground, resulting in smaller disturbances such as dust devils and whirlwinds. Also called Electro-Magnetic Storms Storms that create friction and electrical energies.
