Why do big storms seem to happen at night and clear up during the day?
In: Chemistry
The heating and cooling of the air due to direct sunlight affects some storms’ ability to form. Think of condensation on a drink. The cool surface of the class/bottle/can draws moisture out of the air making the container sweat. The same can happen with the air. The cooling due to the removal of direct sunlight can allow the moisture already in the air to (further) condense, increasing the chance for rain.
