Dynamic Early Dusk Seen from Trieste Gulf/Tržáški Zalív Lazaret/Lazzaretto Bay, on the Italy/Slovenia Istrian Border, Ankaran-Koper/Muggia-Trieste
30-June-2019: these background large storm cells do not draw energy from the Northern Adriatic, they are, instead, much more far multi-cell storms originated by the heat of the overheated solid soil of the Alps...and what Alps!!
At that time, the multi-cell thunderstorm on the right poured torrential rains and hail in the Dolomites of the North-East Alto Adige (Südtirol for German speaking), extending beyond the Italian State border, in Tirol, Austria: it is an area distant from the Gulf of Trieste 250 to 300 linear kilometers!
The air masses at high altitude were generally dry and extremely transparent.
The cell on the left, on the contrary, is in an advanced phase of dissolution, but it is precisely the residual fresher air generated by the previous thunderstorms that keep the right cell still active (after having even generated it a few hours before), despite the setting of the sun.
