Morning guys,

Ignore the above post, will re-post in Day 3.

Yesterday was another hugely successful day with us catching another 2 tornadoes in Eastern Kansas not far from Alta Vista, KS. We sat and watched, and timelapsed the meso on a classic supercell spin right at us and plant a tornado in the field in front of us!

We moved back to get the structure of this amazing storm, and started doing long exposure of the amazing C-G bolts from the anvil of the storm. While doing this, we suddenly noticed a second large cone tornado about 15 miles away in the storm behind, being backlit by the frequent lightning. This was down for maybe 5 minutes or so that we could see before a third storm came towards us and meant we had to off-road and move back South.

Ended the day with yet more C-G's and nighttime lightning structure.

    Dubai Floods: Another Warning Sign for Desert Regions?

    The flooding in the Middle East desert city of Dubai earlier in the week followed record-breaking rainfall. It doesn't rain very often here like other desert areas, but like the deadly floods in Libya last year showed, these rain events are likely becoming more extreme due to global warming.

    Week Ahead: Cool but largely dry until later in the week, when low pressure returns

    We keep a chilly northerly flow going through much of the coming week, especially noticeable in the east. Cloud and rain spreading south Monday, but after that, most places largely dry until later in the week, when it looks to turn more showery. Read the full update here
