How many liters of water does a single large thunderstorm cloud contain?

Up to 500 million liters

Background

A single large thunderstorm cloud can hold up to 500 million liters of water. That is as much as in 200 Olympic swimming pools. Still the cloud floats in the air because the water drops are tiny. Only when they join together do they fall to the ground as rain.
