Let's say you are having a visitor who is from a climate where thunderstorms are less than a once in a lifetime occurrence and has never seen one before. Let's say they grew up without TV so they haven't seen one on TV either. Storm clouds move in and you hear thunder from a distance that's getting closer and closer. They look perplexed and a little scared and ask you, "What's that sound?" You tell them, "A thunderstorm"..They turn around and ask, "What's a thunderstorm?"
How do you explain it to them? This is a language and scientific challenge for you weather geeks. Let's see who can take it up.
FYI- let's assume your visitor speaks and understands English reasonably well but it's not their first language.
