25.01.2022 CALLING ALL STORM CHASERS! DOWNLOAD THE WEATHEX APP NOW AND REPORT SEVERE WEATHER AFFECTING YOUR PLACE! Australia researchers are calling on storm chasers an...d members of the general public fascinated by severe weather to take part in a citizen science project that will help better capture the occurrence of extreme weather events and improve our ability to predict them. The key to the research is the updated WeatheX app, designed by climate scientists and meteorologists from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes and Monash University, in collaboration with the Bureau of Meteorology, Insurance Australia Group, Risk Frontiers and the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment. The WeatheX app aims to help every Australian with a mobile device capture reports and images of severe weather events in real time when it is safe to do so. With WeatheX, anyone can report the severity, location and timing of hail, wind damage, flooding and rainfall. The app is designed to be quick and simple to use, but the data it provides to researchers is invaluable in helping us document and unravel the complexity of extreme weather systems, said the founding researcher behind WeatheX from the Bureau of Meteorology, Dr Joshua Soderholm. The challenge with storms has always been that they often impact a small area and are short-lived, therefore they can miss being measured by weather stations, while weather radar cannot capture what’s happening at ground level. Further, hail size measurements are only possible from citizen reports. This app aims to solve those issues. The latest version of the WeatheX app has incorporated new features in direct response to requests from the weather watching community. Social media integration means app users can now post real-time map information and reports to their own social media accounts or favourite weather pages and groups. App users can also now report rainfall and receive alerts if new reports are submitted near their location. That said, the creators of WeatheX have continued to maintain a high level of privacy for all users. The default setting is for all reports and photos to remain anonymous and no identifying information is ever collected. The decision to post on social media accounts is entirely in the hands of the users. The information gathered by storm-watching citizen scientists is compared to Bureau of Meteorology radar images, instrumental records and other data points to create a rich database that will be in used in peer-reviewed research to improve our understanding of severe weather. WeatheX data will also contribute to the Bureau of Meteorology Severe Storms Archive. Download the app here: https://weathex.app - Nick -

20.01.2022 Crawler lightning is the ultimate high-voltage light show, with vast, spectacular discharges branching out across the sky. It is a constant feature in thunders...torms but our view of is often obscured by clouds or rain you need a fairly good line of sight to view crawler lightning. You're most likely to see crawler lightning if the thunderstorm has a very large anvil that has hung back while the storm has moved away. Anvil crawlers can either occur independently completely within the cloud, or in connection with a cloud-to-ground discharge, as is the case with this image captured by Will Eades Photography off the coast of Port Macquarie, New South Wales, last weekend.

17.01.2022 Water vapour loop showing thick cloud and moisture streaming across southeastern Australia right now. Those in the path of the rain band should see at least 5-15mm, with some areas seeing 30-40mm from SA stretching into TAS.
17.01.2022 Synchronization!!! Credits???
15.01.2022 11/02/20 - Though Darwin didn't get a lot of rain from this storm, the anvil was very charged by the look of these EPIC crawlers & cloud to ground strikes!
15.01.2022 Feel the struggle!!

05.01.2022 A storm that was barely there over the Eagletail Mountains west of Tonopah put out a final positive strike on 8/13. Amazingly, just to irritate my friend Chris Frailey, I caught this during a 2-second interval time-lapse
