Do high altocumulus clouds cause thunderstorms?
No. Altocumulus do not cause thunderstorms, but altocumulus castellanus can be a sign that thunderstorms will develop later in the day.
Why is the solar day on Mars almost the same as Earth's solar day?
No particular reason, most likely coincidence.
How many thunderstorms rage across the US every day?
about 10,000
Can a thunderstorm last all day?
Few thunderstorms can stop in hour. Mainly the weakest ones do.
Can thunderstorms form on cold days?
If a big thunderstorm forms on a snow day, then it would be a blizzard, not a storm because the water drops that the thunderstorm cloud drops will freeze into ice crystal shards and snowflakes, resulting in a snowstorm and/or sleet.
What happens with altocumulus clouds?
Thunderstorms will most likely come later in the day
Why do thunderstorms usually form between 2 and 4 pm?
Because thunderstorms need heat to trigger them. The hottest part of the day is just after mid-day, so we get more thunderstorms in the afternoons.
How many each day?
Every day over 40000 thunderstorms form on this earth
Can man predict a thunderstorm?
Individual thunderstorms are hard to predict. However, we are pretty good at predicting what regions will likely be affected by thunderstorms on a given day.
Precipitation that falls near the equator is most likely to?
Since the air near the equator is hot and moist, it is most likely to produce thunderstorms. Did you know that 30,000+ thunderstorms occur enar the equator every day?
What time of day are tornadoes most frequent and why?
Tornadoes are most common in the late afternoon and early evening. This is when the lower atmosphere is usually warmest and instability is usually the greatest. The greater the instability, the more likely strong thunderstorms are to develop. Tornadoes need strong thunderstorms to form.
How can tornadoes form when it is a pretty day?
Tornadoes need thunderstorms to form. However, the day may be sunny before the thunderstorms develop. As the sun heats the earth it also heats the lower atmosphere. This makes the atmosphere unstable, which can lead to thunderstorms. There are also whirlwinds called dust devils that can form on hot, sunny days. These somewhat resemble tornadoes but they are not actually tornadoes.
What region on earth has thunderstorms every day?
Well, no where on Earth has thunderstorms every day but the most place where they have thunderstorms are in Hawaii.
What time of day do most tornadoes and thunderstorms form and why?
The late afternoon and early evening are the most dangerous time for thunderstorms and tornadoes. That is because that time has the greatest amount of latent heat to power thunderstorms, including tornadic ones.
Why do the majority of tornadoes occur during the day?
During the day the sun heats the ground, which in turn heats the lower atmosphere, this destabilizes the atmosphere, which can lead to thunderstorms. Such storms are needed to produce tornadoes. Atmospheric instability can occur at any time of day or night, but tends to be greatest during the day due to the heat of the sun. The greater the instability the stronger the thunderstorms are, and the stronger the thunderstorms the more likely they are to produce tornadoes.
Do high altocumulus clouds cause thunderstorms?
No. Altocumulus do not cause thunderstorms, but altocumulus castellanus can be a sign that thunderstorms will develop later in the day.
Can there be a tornado on a hot summer day?
Yes, in fact hot, humid weather is the the most likely type of weather to produce severe thunderstorms and thus tornadoes.
