Some of the hail that forms becomes too heavy to be propelled by the updrafts and so begins to fall back through the cloud, bumping into smaller ice particles as they do so.
"As well as being attracted to the positive charge in the top of the cloud, the surplus of electrons in the cloud base are attracted to positive charge in other clouds and on the ground," Claydon said."If the attraction is strong enough, the electrons will rapidly move towards the positive atoms.
