A September Full of Meteorological Events Allowed Me to Photograph a Strong Thunderstorm Towering Clouds whose Lightning Flashes Illuminated Them from Inside; Muggia Seafront Towards Trieste City, FVG, Italia
27-september-2022: the full moon illuminates a part of the large Anvil cloud edge (Cumulonimbus capillatus incus) under which there are cauliflower Cumulonimbus clouds (Cumulonimbus calvus) in continuous development and illuminated from the inside by the numerous lightning of a Tstorm located between the Coastal and the Inner Karst, 30 linear km behind Trieste.
Like all thunderstorms, very numerous, of September (unfortunately an exception in the last 17 months …to today 9 November 2022), this too is the result of the potential energy of the Gulf of Trieste and more generally of the North-Eastern Adriatic Sea and the water cycle has never been closer between that evaporated and thunderstorms in site.
Much of the water (potential energy) of the Gulf of Trieste, evaporated in the summer, has returned to the same Gulf and this is less common than it is believed, as strong currents often carry the humidity and heat of the Sea to hundreds of kilometers away, especially towards the Alps, where they unload when meet the mountain ranges (the sparkle). From the inside, then, the water only partially returns from where it was taken.
As you can see also in this photo it is evident, in light suspension, a layer of mist, that’s saturated and warm air, which represents the "breath" of the sea and the basis for the development of thunderstorms (…and unfortunately noise in the photo)
Finally, I add that in order not to overexpose the artificial City lights (a real problem for me…) the photo is slightly underexposed, which has not totally prevented the collection of indirect light from the lightning into the clouds.
