The 1st pre-monsoonal thunderstorm of the season. A bit early but any moisture is welcomed because the last measurable rainfall was 23 March 2023! More opportunities for convective weather this week.

Picture of the Day

Late afternoon thunderstorms are quite normal for Singapore lying so close to the Equator. Precious rain water is diverted down a series of canals to one of 17 water catchment reservoirs. More than 80% of the population of this small Country live in high-rise flats/apartments.

Well, I have to apologize for this image here. A very simple picture … without a real foreground or interesting composition. In fact I was making a small walk with our dog on the other side of the valley after a huge thunderstorm, when suddenly this amazing light and rainbow came out of nowhere. And I had no chance to find something really interesting on my way … just the time to take my cam and make this image handheld. But honestly … not to make a shot would have been a crime ;-)

I rarely experience something like this on a planned hike. And usually I’m at the wrong place and wrong time when there are such an atmospheric mood. But for heaven’s sake … where is the pink unicorn and the small naked angels playing the harp and flying around the area???

Supercell thunderstorm just south of Stillwater Oklahoma. This storm produced one EF-3 tornado on May 9.

I love how this storm is an almost perfect representation of a classic storm structure. I am about 4 miles West of storm. I ran out of road and had to make a 4 wheel drive dash to get back in position.

Seen in southern Wyoming, USA

Shot with a Fujifilm X100T. I don't know why the EXIF data have largely disappeared.

This was the only thunderstorm to form over the southern half of Wyoming today. It passed about 15 miles to my north and lasted between 3 to 4 PM. The hill in my backyard rises 10 degrees above the horizon. I see myself going up it quite often when something is brewing to my north.

The left side shows `the thunderhead convective development in supercooled phase and the right as it goes into the glacial "ice" phase. I heard just a few faint rumbles.

It was the severe thunderstorm with a huge amount of the rain and lighting. One could see some unusual cloud formation like twister.

Il classico cielo di Maggio :-(

This is what God told us: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life, but whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.

Goldthwaite, Texas, during serious storm activity on May 24th, 2022.

A growing line of storms was mostly to the east as this flanking line built. The area was spared anything severe this day, but the next day proved to be deadly in the city of STL itself, with an EF3 ravaging through western and northern parts of the city.
