Timelapse footage of a supercell thunderstorm with multiple lightning flashes. A supercell is a large rotating storm system that often produces heavy rain, hail and sometimes tornadoes. The supercell is centred on a very powerful updraft, which lifts warm, moist air to high altitude. It cools as it rises, condensing and falling as precipitation. The base of the cloud is marked by a shelf cloud extending forwards, and a low wall cloud at the updraft/downdraft interface. This supercell was filmed in Kansas, USA, in June 2015. Such storms are most common in this region in spring and early summer. | |
