Noctilucent clouds are crystals of ice hanging<br />
around 80 kilometres high in the atmosphere that<br />
catch the light of the sun long after it has set on<br />
the horizon. Once a rare sight, these ‘night clouds’<br />
are on the increase, possibly a result of climate<br />
change.<br />
Supercells – these thunderstorms rotate with immense<br />
energy, causing a strong updraft and severe<br />
weather including tornadoes, hail, heavy rain,<br />
lightning and heavy winds. The huge, dark clouds<br />
produced by supercells look magnificent.
