Storm coming over the Mountain
As we await the electrical storms at the end of another hot and humid day, reports of the savagery of various storm cells devastating towns and farms to the south-west of us begin to ping on our phones. Each ping raises the anxiety levels.
Then we check the radar images supplied by the Bureau of Meteorology as we see which path the storm may take. We relax if the path is going somewhere else, others to impact!
As the night begins to fall, and darkness exaggerates the lightning flashes, we all begin to calm knowing that hail is less likely as the temperature eases. For as the therms pumping latent heat into the cloud ease, so the dynamic turbulence in the thunderhead reduces.
No hail will be good, and the deluge of rain will be less intense. And we all go to bed to sleep peacefully, for the day is done and the rain has come.
