Crazy Pictures of Storms from around the World

Crazy Pictures of Storms
Lightning in Zirje, Slovenia

Extreme weather includes unusual, severe or unseasonal weather; weather at the extremes of the historical distribution—the range that has been seen in the past. Often, extreme events are based of a location’s recorded weather history and defined as lying in the most unusual ten percent. In recent years some extreme weather events have been attributed to human-induced global warming, with studies indicating an increasing threat from extreme weather in the future.

Rainbow in the Stormy Sky

Rainbow and Lightning
Rainbow and Lightning

Rainbow is an optical and meteorological phenomenon that is caused by both reflection and refraction of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. It takes the form of a multicoloured arc. Rainbows caused by sunlight always appear in the section of sky directly opposite the sun.

Frightening Phenomenons of the Coming Storm

Storm is coming
Storm is coming – San Juan Del Sur, Nica 

Nature is unbelievably beautiful, but sometimes she strikes fear in the hearts of man when her power amasses into thunderstorms from hell, towering infernos of rotating wind, pounding hail, and savaging supercells that spin out of control into meteorological menaces. The dark clouds warn us of impending doom, but some adrenaline junkie storm chasers go toward the danger in the name of science.

Eruption Volcano Eyjafjallajökull 2010

Eruption Volcano Eyjafjallajökull
Eruption Volcano Eyjafjallajökull
In April 2010, seismic activity was detected in the volcano area, with thousands of small earthquakes (mostly magnitude 1–2 on the Richter magnitude scale, with only a couple greater than 3 magnitude) 7–10 kilometres (4.3–6.2 mi) beneath the volcano. On 26 February 2010, unusual seismic activity along with rapid expansion of the Earth's crust was registered by the Meteorological Institute of Iceland. This gave geophysicists evidence that magma was pouring from underneath the crust into the magma chamber of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano and that pressure stemming from the process caused the huge crustal displacement at Þorvaldseyri farm. The seismic activity continued to increase and from 3–5 March, close to 3,000 earthquakes were measured at the epicentre of the volcano.

Green lightning during the eruption of the volcano Chaiten in Chile

Green lightning strikes as the Chaiten volcano erupts in Chile. The eerie lightning strikes may be what scientists call 'streamers,' only visible when occurring in a cloud of volcanic ash.

Volcanic Eruption in Grímsvötn, Vatnajökull, Iceland

Volcanic Eruption in Grímsvötn
Volcanic Eruption in Grímsvötn by Jon Gustafsson

Iceland's most active volcano, Grímsvötn, erupted on Saturday for the first time since 2004, hurling a plume of steam and ash nearly 20 kilometers (12 miles) into the sky. People living next to the glacier where the Grímsvötn volcano burst into life were most severely affected, with ash blocking out the daylight and smothering buildings and vehicles.
