Answer:

Cumulonimbus or nimbus clouds are the only clouds that produce thunderstorms with hail, lightning, and thunder. They form in warm weather, warm air creates clouds that are 20,000 feet or more in size. Cold and warm air collides, causing rain, thunder, lightning, hail, and sometimes severe storms like tornados.
