The data on short-term variations of the intensity of secondary cosmic rays during thunderstorms are presented. The effect is studied separately for soft and hard components (the data of 11 and 14 thunderstorms, respectively, are analyzed). In both cases the correlation with the near-earth electric field is represented by a regression line with linear and quadratic terms. It is shown that, generally, the behavior of soft and hard components is reasonably well described by electron and muon mechanisms of electric field influence on cosmic ray particle fluxes. However, some irregular enhancements of soft component just before lightning discharges are observed, which cannot be explained by electric field variations. The maximum of such an enhancement reaches 20% during a thunderstorm on September 7, 2000.
