„Unsere Analysen haben ergeben, dass die durch den Klimawandel steigenden Temperaturen die Gewitter- und damit Blitzhäufigkeit noch weiter steigen lassen“, sagt Simon. „Dass dieser Trend so eindeutig im Einklang mit den globalen Veränderungen des Klimasystems steht, hat uns auch überrascht.“

Lightning strikes the Earth about 3,000,000 times a day, so you'd think we'd have the science of lightning all figured out. In fact, it's an active area of research. The more scientists learn about how lightning strikes form inside storm clouds, the more mysterious this natural phenomenon gets https://www.sciencefocus.com/planet-earth/one-of-earths-oldest-mysteries-keeps-getting-weirder #Physics #Lightning #Atmosphere
What do you think of storms? I personally like them very much 
What do you like to do when it rains?

4 P.M. #RADAR UPDATE:
A line of #showers with a few possible #thunderstorms continue to push east through northwest #Wisconsin and towards the #UpperPeninsula.
A brief #downpour and gust of #wind are the additional dangers along with any #lightning.
#Lightning strikes usually kill #trees. This one just grows stronger https://www.npr.org/2025/04/11/nx-s1-5357412/lightning-tree-dipteryx-oleifera
How some tropical trees benefit from being struck by lightning https://nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/nph.70062
"The lightning's power cleanses these trees of parasitic #vines. It also zaps trees nearby, reducing competition. Dipteryx oleifera, a towering presence in #Panama's forests, is particularly adept at thriving after enduring events that are deadly to most other trees."
Seeing an awesome thunderstorm/lightshow while way offshore of West Palm Beach, FL on my Disney Cruise ride back north to Orlando, FL. Epic indeed! (4-8-2025) #lightning #thunderstorm #DisneyFantasy
woah, BIG lightning flashed across the sky outside our windows, around 1km away based on the thunder? maybe a bit more? definitely over northshore.
What should you do if you're outdoors and caught in a lightning storm? In the past, the recommendation was to crouch.

“A Migration Story”
Last week near Kearney, Nebraska on the Platte River with the migrating sandhill cranes (about 700,00 in this area when I was there). I was overnighting in a blind when this storm approached from the west.

I love it when they zoom into the map in some of these rural Tennessee areas and say stuff like “the tornado is now crossing old Lebanon dirt road and Possum Wallow Creek Road, moving toward the corner of upper brushy Creek Road and State Route 13”

Lotta #lightning tonight, ahead of this big storm. Captured a couple bolts that looked pretty nice. #tnwx #tornado
Thanks to @WDEFNews12 viewer Bill Aycock from Whitwell for a great #lightning snapshot from last week's thunderstorms, Tuesday's @LangleyRoofing #WeatherWindow #PictureOfTheDay.

Getting hit by lightning is good for some tropical trees
"Storm clouds generate massive electrical potentials...but nowhere is the electric field strong enough to ionize the air and start a miles-long branching bolt. Something needs to create the initial spark...
Using precise radio-wave detection in three dimensions, scientists at Los Alamos National Laboratory have determined that the sparks are provided by cosmic rays...atomic-scale particles traveling at incredible speeds..."

Wow, two homes hit by lightning last night on Camano Island, Washington. One had a window blown out and the other a smoldering fire in the attic. #lightning #WAwx
Looked like a normal tree until I walked around the side. I’m guessing it’s a lightning strike from long ago that the tree has been doing its best to recover from, but it's a large gap to bridge, going from the ground all the way up 20 feet or more.
Second photo of multiple trees in another area of woods that had a lightning strike within a week of my photo, illustrating what this tree had to deal with.
Two best lightning shots from tonight. That second one was super close, prompted my kiddo to get his ear protection, and left an image on my eye for a couple minutes. No hail so thankful for that.
