This effect wins out over warm air rising. The warm air in a thermal will cool as it rises, until it reaches the temperature of the air around it and is no longer buoyant.

The article from NDTV explains the science behind thermals, which are columns of rising warm air that play a crucial role in atmospheric dynamics and weather patterns. Thermals form when the sun heats the Earth's surface unevenly, causing some areas to become warmer than others. The warm air over these heated spots rises due to its lower density compared to the cooler surrounding air, creating buoyancy. This process is essential for the formation of clouds, thunderstorms, and even influences global wind patterns. The article also discusses how thermals are utilized by birds and glider pilots for soaring, highlighting their practical significance in nature and aviation.
