Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -CUMULONIMBUS-A vertically developed cumulus cloud, often capped by an anvil shaped cloud. Also called a thunderstorm cloud, it is frequently accompanied by heavy showers, lightning, thunder, and sometimes hail or gusty winds.

Detailed explanation-2: -Low-pressure areas are places where the atmosphere is relatively thin. Winds blow inward toward these areas. This causes air to rise, producing clouds and condensation. Low-pressure areas tend to be well-organized storms.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer: because when an area has low pressure the winds with high pressure rushes towards that area and hence the weather becomes stormy. So low pressure is often associated with stormy weather.

Detailed explanation-4: -Depression (low pressure) As it rises and cools, water vapour condenses to form clouds and perhaps precipitation. This is why the weather in a depression is often unsettled, there are usually weather fronts associated with depressions.
