Electric currents cool the air around them. So there's that. It was recently found that the core upward air in a tornado (being characterizable as a geoelectric event within the geoelectric perspective) is the coolest air in the system where the charge differential is moving the air more rapidly, a persistent evacuation. Very low pressure.
"As explained in a Concordia press release, the scientists were able to use the new model to figure out that as air pockets — localized regions of air with lower pressure than the surrounding atmosphere — move from the edge of the vortex toward its center, the pockets expand. That expansion brings down the temperature of the air and also makes it thinner. The more the pockets expand, the colder it gets, then the thinner the air gets. In the case of the 1955 tornado, the temperature dropped from 80.6 to 53.6 degrees F (27 to 12 degrees C). The density of the air was 20 percent less than what's found at high altitudes on mountainsides, where climbers have to wear special gear to breathe. That explains why the trapped broadcasters felt chilly and had trouble breathing."

I thought this was an excellent example of rapid evacuation...at La Palma.
The expulsion from the vent creates a vacuum toward which the surrounding steam goes.


It may also be, in combination, that electric currents flow more easily through cooler air.....think supercooled superconductors and such.
