Thunderstorm Warning Thunderstorms Thunderstorms commonly occur in spring and summer months in Hong Kong. On average, thunderstorms are reported at the Hong Kong Observatory in 5 days per month during April to September. Most thunderstorms form in cumulonimbus cloud. A cumulonimbus cloud typically covers an area of a few kilometres in diameter with a vertical extent of ten kilometres or more, like a tower hanging in the sky. The typical life span of a cumulonimbus cloud is a couple of hours. In the vicinity of active weather systems such as low pressure troughs, cumulonimbus clouds may form one after another. Such thunderstorms are more widespread and persistent. Occasionally, cumulonimbus clouds merge to form severe thunderstorms called supercells. On a summer day that sets off with fine weather, insolation may trigger the growth of cumulonimbus clouds and the formation of thunderstorms. Such thunderstorms are often localized and short lived. The weather may even be sunny not far away from the storms. Sometimes, the cumulonimbus clouds will drift with the wind and affect other areas. The areas of formation of the clouds may also vary with time. Thunderstorms are characterized by flashes of lightning and claps of thunder. In an unstable and moist atmosphere, water droplets and ice pellets in the cloud will become electrically charged in convective motion. When the electric field arising from the piling up of charges reaches a certain breakdown value, lightning discharges take place between clouds or between cloud and the earth's surface. The explosive expansion of the surrounding air produces the rolling sound of thunder. As a rule of thumb, if the sound of thunder reaches an observer three seconds after a lightning flash, the thunderstorm is about one kilometre away from the observer. The distance of thunderstorms for different time delay of the thunder sound can be estimated similarly.

Thunderstorms soak western U.S.
Satellite image of the United States taken Tuesday at 6:32 a.m. EDT (AP) Clusters of thunderstorms dogged the western Plains early Tuesday, while scattered showers fell over the eastern Great Lakes and the rest of the East basked under a dome of high pressure. Rain was expected to lash the eastern Great Lakes and Ohio Valley as a stationary front located in the Midwest slowly pushes eastward. Clouds were forecast to thicken over New England and the mid-Atlantic.

THUNDERSTORMS Nature's violence unleashed Thunderstorm and Lightning Safety - What To Do ! Before the Storm .... Check the weather forecast before leaving for extended periods outdoors. Watch for signs of approaching storms. Postpone outdoor activities if thunderstorms are imminent. When the Thunderstorm Approach .... Move to a sturdy building or car. Do not take shelter in small sheds or under isolated trees If lightning is occurring and a sturdy shelter is not available, get inside a car and keep the windows up. Get out of boats and away from water. Telephone lines and metal pipes can conduct electricity. Avoid using the telephone or electrical appliances. Use phones only in an emergency. Unplug electrical appliances which are not in use. Do not take a bath or shower . Turn off air conditioners. Power surges from lightning can overload the compressors. If you are driving on highways and flyovers be alert to strong gusts. Get to higher ground if flash flooding is possible. If Caught Outdoors and No Shelter is Nearby .... Shelter in a low spot away from trees, fences and poles, that is not subject to flooding.

Thunderstorms A thunderstorm should be thought of as a process which takes heat and moisture near the Earth's surface and transports it to the upper levels of the atmosphere. The by-products of this process are the clouds, precipitation, and wind that we associate with the thunderstorm. Atmospheric Conditions for a Thunderstorm Development All thunderstorms, whether or not they become severe, must have three conditions present in order to form. The first necessary condition is moisture in the lower to mid levels of the atmosphere. As air rises in a thunderstorm updraft, moisture condenses into small water drops which form clouds (and eventually precipitation). When the moisture condenses, heat is released into the air, making it warmer and less dense than its surroundings. The added heat allows the air in the updraft to continue rising. The second necessary condition is instability . If the airmass is unstable, air which is pushed upward by some force will continue upward. An unstable airmass usually contains relatively warm (usually moist) air near the earth's surface and relatively cold (usually dry) air in the mid and upper levels of the atmosphere. As the low-level air rises in an updraft, it becomes less dense than the surrounding air and continues to rise. This process is often augmented by added heat due to condensation as discussed above. The air will continue to move upward until it becomes colder and more dense than its surroundings.

Cumulonimbus clouds
Most thunderstorms are associated with towering clouds known as cumulonimbus. These clouds normally form on warm, sunny days, although they are sometimes found on a cold front if conditions are right for their formation. Moist air near the Earth's surface is warmed by the sun, and as the air becomes warmer it starts to rise. As it rises it cools, and, if cooled sufficiently, cumulus clouds form at the condensation level. These small, white puffy clouds grow larger and larger as more warm air rises from the ground. If the cloud gets large enough, the top may penetrate the stratosphere, where the air is cooler. Strong winds in the stratosphere blow the top of the cloud downwind, and this gives the top of the cloud an anvil shape.
How cumulonimbus clouds form
Not all cumulonimbus clouds bring thunderstorms; some just bring heavy showers or hail. On average, an individual cumulonimbus cloud takes only one hour to take shape, grow and dissipate. It produces less than 30 minutes of thunder and lightning. If a thunderstorm lasts longer than this, it is probably because there is more than one cumulonimbus present.

About Severe Thunderstorms
Literally thousands of thunderstorms occur each year in NSW and the ACT. Although all thunderstorms produce lightning, that is a danger itself, not all of them are "severe" or likely to produce damage. In Australia, Severe Thunderstorms are defined as those that produce any of the following: Each year, upwards of 100 thunderstorms in NSW and the ACT are strong enough to produce one or more of these effects. The chart below shows the number of reported severe thunderstorms from the period July 1988 through to June 2001. Statistics are shown in Financial years (i.e. from 1 July to 30 June the following year) because the peak months for storms occurrence are December and January, the middle of the Financial year. The differences between years are due to two factors. Firstly, the broad weather patterns that cause storms vary from year-to-year resulting in some seasons being more active. And secondly, despite the Bureau's extensive network of observation sites and a storm spotter network of around 1,300 individuals, severe thunderstorms still go unreported in the State, particularly over more remote areas.
Monthly Distribution of Severe Thunderstorms
Although severe thunderstorms can occur at any time, the distribution of events shows a marked pattern throughout the year. The graph below shows the percentage frequency of severe thunderstorms for each month of the year for a ten year period. There is a marked tendency for severe thunderstorms (indeed all thunderstorms) to occur during the months September through to March. This period is normally referred to as the "Severe Thunderstorm Season" in NSW. The increase in storms during this period is primarily due to the increase in energy provided by the sun during the warmer Spring and Summer months, coupled with Spring and Summer weather patterns that are favourable for storm growth.

Don't have Real Audio? Go here to get it Have you ever noticed lightning in the nighttime?
Have you heard the thunder in the afternoon?
When you see and hear it, you will know it is the right time
To get ready, cause a storm is coming soon.
Get ready for some threatening clouds, get ready for a shower;
You get ready for a gusty blustery wind.
But most of all get ready to see nature show its power.
And if you find yourself outside, go in! CHORUS: Thunderstorms, thunderstorms, see the lightning flashing. Thunderstorms, thunderstorms, feel the strong winds blow. The rain will soon fall fiercely when those dark clouds start to form; Oh nothing can compare with thunderstorms. You'll find a thunderstorm whenever cold and warm air clashes, And warmer air below is forced to rise. Clouds become so charged up that they spark electric flashes; Then thunder rolls while rain pours from the skies. (Chorus) It's usually just nature's noisy light show

Flash Facts:
An estimated two thousand thunderstorms are going on in the world at any one time. The diameter of a lightning bolt is about a half-inch to an inch wide, but can be up to five inches wide. The average length of a lightning bolt from a cloud to the ground is three to four miles long. When lightning strikes a sandy beach, the intense heat turns a small portion of the sand into glass. These icicle-shaped pieces are called fulgurites A flash of lightning appears to flicker because there are usually several bolts of lightning striking at almost the same time. Lightning can occur not only in thunderstorms, but also in snowstorms, sand storms, above erupting volcanoes and from nuclear explosions.
Word Up:
Anvil: This is what the top of a cumulonimbus cloud is called because it resembles an anvil that blacksmiths and metal workers use to hammer and bend metal.
Have you ever seen tall, dark puffy clouds forming on a hot humid afternoon? These are called cumulonimbus clouds, sometimes nicknamed "thunderheads."

Some thunderstorms can be seen approaching, while others hit without warning. It is important to learn and recognize the danger signs and to plan ahead. What you should do...
... a thunderstorm.
BEFORE
Learn the thunderstorm danger signs.
  • Dark, towering, or threatening clouds. Distant lightning and thunder.
Estimating the Distance from a Thunderstorm
Because light travels much faster than sound, lightning flashes can be seen long before the resulting thunder is heard. Estimate the number of miles you are from a thunderstorm by counting the number of seconds between a flash of lightning and the next clap of thunder. Divide this number by five. Important: You are in danger from lightning if you can hear thundereven if the storm is not overhead.
Have disaster supplies on hand...
  • Flashlight with extra batteries Portable, battery-operated radio and extra batteries First aid kit and manual Emergency food and water Non-electric can opener Essential medicines Cash and credit cards Sturdy shoes
Check for hazards in the yard.
