A Red Flag Warning remains in effect across large parts of Interior Alaska until 22:00 AKDT (06:00 UTC June 22) on June 21, 2026. Scattered thunderstorms capable of producing lightning along with low humidity, hot temperatures, and gusty winds to create critical fire weather conditions in the region.

Arunachal Pradesh is set to experience widespread heavy rainfall, thunderstorms, and lightning for the next five days, according to an alert issued by the India Meteorological Department (IMD). Residents are advised to prepare for the inclement weather, which is expected to begin on Sunday.
2022年8月，NASA的朱诺号探测器自北向南（黄色轨迹）掠过木星大气层，探测到一系列来自闪电的无线电脉冲（青绿色圆圈）。哈勃太空望远镜提供的背景图将该闪电源识别为一个孤立的“隐形超级风暴”。插图显示了朱诺相机数据中先前观测到的隐形超级风暴的羽流。图片来源：NASA/JPL-Caltech/SwRI/MSSS/Björn Jónsson (JunoCam)；Wong等人，2026，https://doi.org/10.1029/2025AV002083; 哈勃太空望远镜和朱诺号微波辐射计
A photographer has revealed the journey he went on to capture an incredible photo of a rare form of lightning sprites.

This lightning compilation video captures what happens when the atmosphere turns volatile. A storm rolls in, looking routine, and then, suddenly, a tree is vaporized, a building is on fire, and the power goes out. It's a reminder of just how extreme lightning can be — and why taking cover matters. — Read the rest

NASA’s Juno spacecraft passed north to south (yellow track) over Jupiter’s atmosphere in August 2022, detecting a cluster of radio pulses from lightning (turquoise circles). A background map from the Hubble Space Telescope identified the lightning source as an isolated “stealth superstorm.” The inset shows a previous stealth superstorm plume from JunoCam data. Credit:…

A new study reveals that thunderstorms may electrify entire forests. Researchers detected faint corona discharges leaping between leaves, producing ultraviolet flashes across treetops, an invisible light show that could influence atmospheric chemistry and subtly shape the lives of trees.

There is an Asian elm tree that I can see out of my office window. In the winter, its branches trace intricate lines against the pale sky. Every few years, an arborist casts ropes through the branches and climbs up to trim the tree. One year, he pointed out a fork in the trunk with […]
