How does the cloud burst?
Cloud bursting is a natural phenomenon. When hot winds from the ground rise towards the clouds and move the rain drops upwards, it does not cause rain properly, which causes a lot of moisture in the clouds. Then when the air going upwards becomes weak, then in such a situation, whatever water accumulates in the cloud, it raises a lot of speed together. This is called cloud bursting. 100 mm or more rainfall occurs in a limited area in a few minutes when cloudburst. This gives incidents of floods and landslides.
