As temperatures rise all we need is a moist southerly air flow and then the rain will come. This isolated thunderstorm is a peek at what the monsoon season will bring.
This image was shot during August of 2018 in Sedona Arizona USA.
Lucky guy, New Zealand sounds amazing. China storms may be comparable to Arizona but also the U.S. has some of the most extreme thunderstorms in the world. We are in the mixing zone.
Yes the US certainly does. When I was in New Jersey about 8 years ago I remember seeing lighting like I have never seen before! I’m not sure if that area is particularly prone to lightning but it was an amazing scene - like I’ve never seen before!
The rain in China was crazy and the volume of the thunder was almost deafening at time!
Yes thank you, New Zealand is one amazing country- you would love it here as it’s a photographers heaven!:)
Hi @irvinesimages,I like rainy days, but this is too much, you have to look for a good roof to cover yourself from this storm.
Blessings and happy weekend
Hi Martha, Getting caught in this kind of storm is no fun and often there's little warning. When conditions are ripe it happens quick. We love the rain! Have a great weekend.
That's quite a powerful looking storm! Super dramatic and I like how the clouds and rain sort of make an S shape. That's cool! Hopefully we get some monsoon rains here before too much longer! I'm looking forward to it.
What a big storm

It was just starting and spread to a much larger area until it rained out.
Crazy looking storm! I saw something like this in New Zealand once :) I am actually back here now.
In China we had the most insane of storms daily and the loudest thunder I’ve ever heard!

Every one is unique that's whats so cool. I'm getting anxious cause we are in the zone.
Great photography and amazing place great day my dear friend
It's a wonderful world my friend.
Impressive. You even have a completely different thunderstorm. Beautiful and disturbing.
These can be dangerous but marvelous to watch.
Whoa that's a serious cloud. Looks like a lot of rain will be coming soon. I hope you have an umbrella ;)
