, Netherlands ]] A storm is any disturbed state of a planet's Atmosphere , especially affecting its surface, and strongly implying Severe Weather . It may be marked by strong Wind (a Wind Storm ), Thunder and Lightning (a Thunderstorm ), heavy Precipitation , such as Ice ( Ice Storm ), or wind transporting some substance through the Atmosphere (as in a Dust Storm , Snowstorm , Hailstorm , etc). Storms are created when a center of Low Pressure develops, with a system of High Pressure surrounding it. This combination of opposing forces can create winds and result in the formation of storm Clouds , such as the Cumulonimbus . A strict Meteorological definition of a storm is a wind measuring 10 or higher on the Beaufort Scale , meaning a wind speed of 89 Km/h (55 Mph ) or more; however, popular usage is not so restrictive. in Hong Kong .
