Dry thunderstorm

A dry thunderstorm is a type of thunderstorm that produces lightning and thunder but very little or no precipitation reaching the ground. This phenomenon often occurs in environments where the lower atmosphere is dry, allowing the rain to evaporate before it can hit the ground. Dry thunderstorms can be particularly hazardous because the lightning strikes can ignite wildfires, and the lack of moisture means there is little to no rain to mitigate the fire risk.
