Antarctica is a polar desert and most of Australia is a hot desert. The reason why Antarctica is a desert is because the polar easterlies and the karabatic winds (winds where cold air sinks to lower elevation and soon reach the shores of antarctica where it sinks to the surface of the ocean) blows winds from the south pole into the southern oceans. These winds blow most of the moist air away from Antarctica leaving Antarctica a dry and windy place. Antarctica is also too cold for water to evaporate so storm clouds do not really form and bring precipitation into the surface. Antarctica could be one of the driest places on earth. The reason why there is snow in Antarctica is because Antarctica is so cold that whenever it snows, Antarctica would preserve its snow. This can build up layers of old snow creating glaciers and ice sheets that in long periods of time sink into the shores of Antarctica where they melt and break into icebergs.
Australia lies in 30 degrees latitude (where cloudless air tends to sink) creating drier air and the trade winds blow moist air from the Pacific Ocean into eastern Australia where the great dividing range creates a rainshadow effect leaving middle and western Australia dry. The Australian desert rarely but can receive precipitation by storm clouds going through the great dividing range into the Australian desert or high pressure systems can steer cyclones and storm clouds into mainly northern Australia bringing wind and rain into the desert. The Australian desert is also hot enough for water to evaporate so it's a bit more likely to form clouds than Antarctica.
Thunderstorms can happen at any time of day, but they are most common in the afternoon and evening. This is because the heating of the day creates instability in the atmosphere, which can lead to the development of thunderstorms.
Yes, thunderstorms can occur in Greenland, but they are not as common as in other parts of the world. The combination of cold air masses and ice-covered surfaces can restrict the development of thunderstorms in this region.
Tornadoes always happen during thunderstorms. They cannot occur without them.
Summer thunderstorms typically occur in the late afternoon or evening when temperatures are highest and instability is greatest. This is when the atmosphere is most conducive to the formation of thunderstorms due to the combination of warm air at the surface and cooler air aloft.
Seattle experiences thunderstorms on average of about 5 to 10 times per year. Thunderstorms are more common in the late spring and summer months due to warmer temperatures and increased atmospheric instability.
Antarctica is very cold while tornadoes can only form with thunderstorms, which require at least some degree of warm, moist air.
Yes, tornadoes can happen almost anywhere that there are thunderstorms.
Antarctica is the only continent that does not experience thunderstorms. This is because the continent is too cold for the necessary convection to occur, which is required for thunderstorm development.
of course thunderstorms can happen anytime anywhere
everywhere around the world except Antarctica
Thunderstorms are rare in Antarctica due to the continent's extremely cold and dry conditions. However, they can occur occasionally during the summer months near the coastlines where moisture and warmer air masses interact.
Thunderstorms can happen at any time of day, but they are most common in the afternoon and evening. This is because the heating of the day creates instability in the atmosphere, which can lead to the development of thunderstorms.
thunderstorms happen
all of them
yes they do
Yes. They can happen all year round. It depends on the weather conditions, but yes thunderstorms can occur in the Spring
Tornadoes can happen in any place that gets thunderstorms.
