What does "over-development" refer to in a weather report?

  • A

    Change from blue thermals to cloudy thermals during the afternoon.

  • B

    Widespreading of Cumulus clouds below an inversion layer.

  • C

    Vertical development of Cumulus clouds to rain showers.

  • D

    Development of a thermal low to a storm depression.

"Over-development" in a weather report refers to a situation where cumulus clouds grow rapidly and vertically into cumulonimbus clouds. This rapid growth occurs due to strong updrafts of warm, moist air, often in unstable atmospheric conditions. As the cumulus clouds develop into cumulonimbus clouds, they become taller and denser, eventually producing thunderstorms with potentially severe weather such as heavy rain, lightning, hail, and strong winds.
