A storm forms when warm humid air (or any moisture on the ground...it doesn't have to be warm outside) on the ground evaporates into the air and condenses into packed in ice crystals. The ice crystals continue to pack until it forms a cloud. As more of these crystals condenses and pack into each other, the humble cloud becomes a monster thunderhead or cumulonubus cloud. The ice crystals fall, and as they run into the warmer ground air into rain drops. A thunderstorm can be small or a supercell depending on other weather factors. -Joshua

Air is heated by the Sun either directly or indirectly. This causes it to rise (because warm air is less dense than cold air) as it rises it cools and the moisture in it condenses out and falls as rain. The process of condensation warms the air because of the latent heat of condensation and the warmed air rises further dragging in more wet air from the surface layers and a meteorological depression forms and the coriolis forces causes the inflowing winds (replacing the rising air) to swirl round the centre of the depression.
