Was anyone else watching this during a thunderstorm??? Is this just me?? Like if you did

[@hyperpizza1471]

Chloe Spencer I’m watching this while thunderstorm.

[@ursadkid6289]

Chloe Spencer me

[@onlybuckle]

Yes right now

[@rrkings]

Nah, I’m watching this when it’s raining

[@ash4302_]

lol meee

[@Christina_320]

Is it just me or it’s hard to follow... maybe too much information , too quick . Thanks for info though . ☺️🌬

[@marks6663]

It is hard to follow because he did not get into the explanation of how heat is released during condensation. He skipped over that because that is a subject all its own. That is key. You have to google the "latent heat of evaporation/condensation". Fascinating stuff.

[@el4094]

My teacher sent me this thru Google classroom, that's the only reason I'm here

[@Rainier214]

bro you learning about this stuff in school? damn. wish my school was cool lmao. fortunately i learned a lot of weather stuff already but still.

[@cubingwithcarl4572]

Teague Wessel same lol

[@HeroDestrin]

Saaaaaame I just got sent here by my teacher

[@emmaetheridge8657]

ahaha sameee

[@jaywalkingkills]

Same

[@johnwight6041]

Wow this is so cool! Awesome explanation and graphics too. Best most in depth and logical explanation about thunderstorms out there. Also really like hearing about the variations and some stuff I didn’t even know about like tilted clouds and thunderstorms forming their own squall lines. Subscribed! Can’t wait to see more

[@yirehmiyahmagsayo361]

great explaination sir👍🇵🇭⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@weathernetwork]

Hi Angela! You can watch "S2E2: How does lightning work?" here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3yQp2CIf5KtaKM

Anyone here in 2024? Like if yes

Great explanation! Thank you.

It was raining earlier and I think a piece of hail stabbed me in the neck 😂

[@mrbaruaful]

Thanks 😊 I liked your post

[@MomentsNature-w8o]

THANKS and Make a video about a solar storm

[@lousiesr]

I searched this cause theres a thunderstorm tommorow and theres been lots of thunder ;-;

[@trashacurr6580]

I’m here Bc it’s thundering

[@baldmanhalo5207]

Interesting.

Who else gets scared of thunderstorms at night 😬😳

[@dariavereshchagina7777]

I adore it!

[@nickorefice7323]

Puss

[@PaulHosey]

Don't be a wuss

[@charlessmith263]

A cap happens when enough convective inhibition values, or CINHs (a thunderstorm parameter value that mitigates thunderstorms or stops the processes of thunderstorms all together) overtake and creates higher values than the CAPEs (values of positive convective available potential energy), which in turn, keeps a lid on thunderstorm development. So for example, if the MUCAPE (most unstable convective available potential energy - usually in the elevated later) is 2,000 j/kg, but the upper layer has a EML (elevated mixed layer) with CINHs of -5000 j/kg, thunderstorms will not form at all even with the moderate instability. But under the right conditions, say the MUCAPE increases to 6,000 J/kg and the EML has CINHs going down to -1,000 j/kg, the CAPE values will win out, and the cap erodes quickly and will break quickly, causing severe thunderstorms to explosively form to mature stage as fast as 10 to 20 minutes.

[@lavanya9182]

Nice explanation 👌

[@ryandejong1669]

This could be very useful for meteorology instruction for private pilot's license ground school training. Far less dry than the Air Command weather manual.

[@calebkutney9119]

Very true! That's why I'm actually here 😁

[@williambarber2944]

Thank you for the incredibly efficient and thorough explanation of thunderstorms. I learned a lot very quickly

[@evilangel8194]

My kinda of teaching video great visual make lot easier to understand always fascinated with weather and the mechanics of it

[@fn0rd-f5o]

this has answered a lot of my curiosity of why storms suddenly fizzle out. radar won't show you that kind of stuff.

[@ekojar3047]

Thank you, its starting to make more sense to me. I keep having the coriolis effect come to my mind in trying to understand how a tornado forms on the edge in a thunder storm.

[@Mrrandon685]

1:28 I did not expect lighting from this part

[@paitynjohnson672]

It’s happing right now in McAlester OK and I’m nervous 😟

[@theluc1f3r93]

,,When cloud getting tilted, storm coming out” :D

[@stephensnell1379]

It actually separates the updraft and downdraft enough to make the storm last longer otherwise the downdraft would cancel out the updraft and that would kill the THUNDERSTORM completely

[@manishsutradhar7215]

All I understood is clouds, clouds, clouds.

[@sdeety]

I'm in a thunder storm right now😢😢😢

[@dondon3855]

Congrats you have 100 Comments😮

[@victherocker]

why does warmer air have more water vapor again?

[@jb-zj6sg]

warmer air has lots of room to hold water, unlike cold air

[@DaSpoonyBard]

Air becomes cold when its particles lose kinetic energy. Particles with low kinetic energy group together more tightly, leaving less room for water molecules.

[@joshuaarmijo5213]

It's Because Hot temperature make all the molecules Triggered so it reacts onto rapid moves, that the warm water turns into Gas and form in the skies. just like a boiling water in pot.

[@joshuaarmijo5213]

And it's actually came back into the liquid form when the warm air that form in the skies come higher in the atmosphere, because cold temperature is so heavy and fall down into ground and turns in rain

[@stephensnell1379]

@@joshuaarmijo5213 you meant cold air no such thing as cold temperature

[@THEDRAGONKREW1126]

It’s kinda scary bc I am going to have a thunderstorm that is little today

[@Paul-hw7kc]

I'm watching this cuz I want to design a weather system in the video game I'm designing. This stuff is a bit more complicated than I expected.

[@artmasterdrake7268]

POV: your watching this to go super saiyan

[@bradley7454]

I made a massive storm by boiling a puddle of water with throwing a heap of firewood into it

[@yardyknowwright1299]

I want to harness the power of a thunderstorm. I'm curious why no one has created one inside of a giant building. It seems pretty simple. If this guy can explain it in a video, then we should be able to control a storm and contain it in a special building that can use the high winds to generate electricity.

[@MerkhVision]

No one has done it because it’s a dumb idea lmao

[@yardyknowwright1299]

​@MerkhVision Elaborate a little more dude, why is it a dumb idea? Is that just your little opinion, or is it really a dumb idea? Your comment just seems like an ignorant response to a serious question. You could have said "funding" or "lack of resources" but you stuck by " It's a dumb idea"

[@ryanbrooks3443]

Why do thunderstorms produce more rain then regular rain?

[@stephensnell5707]

Surely you aware of the reason for it as Thunderstorm Clouds are huge(up to 50,000 even 60,000 Feet high in the sky and this gives loads of room for huge amounts of rain and even hailstones to form and it can lead to intense flooding if it persists for up to an hour or longer) A Thunderstorm will eventually fizzle out once the Updraft weakens and fizzles out the Downdraft will take over and then the rain will fall until there is none remaining inside the cloud and once all the rain is gone the Thunderstorm will collapse entirely

Need to slow down when ur trying to explain thunderstorm development, very hard to keep up and follow.a longer video with more information about them wouldn't hurt either.
