Is it possible to go a whole summer without a serve thunderstorm? I'm not talking about in a desert but a normal city or town that has lots of rain though out the year.

Asked by Curious weather man about 10 years ago

Certainly possible but less likely in some regions of the country. Severe weather is more likely through the southern and central plains and the southeast. A storm is considered severe if it produces hail to one inch and/or 58 mph winds.

hello I am working on heat transfer question as I am in University for Mechanical Engineering. How would I solve for the wind chill if all I am given is a temperature of outside, and the speed of wind. We can assume anything ex: Area of skin.
Thanks

Those are the two data points you need, Anthony. You can find the formula here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_chill

I love photographing lightning. It's my big Hobby. This storm was insane. Lightning never stopped, & never made a sound. Here's a link to my YouTube video of it. Can you explain to me why this was? https://youtu.be/rZRjRolyxLg

Great video, very active storm. Thunder travels only about 15 miles on average so these storms were too far away to hear anything. Great stuff!

I have a personal selfish weather question?!? My husband and I have plans to fly out from the US this Sunday am on 9/3/17 to the island of Grenada for the week and would like your opinion on the impact of Hurricane Irma there? Should we cancel???

Asked by Shannon over 8 years ago

Looks like you should have no problem getting in on Sunday. The current forecast model guidance suggests the storm will be far enough north early next week so as not to have a large impact on Grenada. A website you can check a few times a day shows you many of the models track information. Basically the closer the lines are together the more confidence in the track. Also check with the National Hurricane Center. Good luck!https://www.sfwmd.gov/weather-radar/hurricane-model-plots http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/

What causes a severe thunderstorm to roar like a jet plane hovering overhead... even after the worst of it has passed through.

Asked by ShannyM almost 10 years ago

Great question. Lightning creates thunder and the sound will travel, sometimes about 15 miles. So you will hear the rumble as the storm continues away from your location. A single bolt can travel a long way so your are hearing the thunder as it reaches you from each point along the bolt.

If you live in a mobile home and have not evacuated when a tornado watch was issued and you are caught in a tornado, where is a safe place to seek shelter? (also you don't have a tornado shelter)

Asked by elise over 10 years ago

Ideally you would find a safe place ahead of the storm arriving. If not, you would want to me in the smallest part of the home nearest the center of the structure, with no windows. The smallest part would offer better structural integrity and hopefully protection from objects hitting the outer walls.

How do scientist know that climate change is largely caused by human activities?

Asked by art rodriguez almost 11 years ago

"Climate" is much different than "weather". Not really my area.
