Seasonal and Regional Distribution of Lightning Fraction Over Indian Subcontinent
Earth and Space Science, 2023 Four years of Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology lightning location network lightning observation data are used to determine the seasonal and spatial (over different geographical locations) distribution of the ratio of intra‐cloud (IC) lightning to

Cloud‐to‐ground lightning in the blizzard of ′93
Geophysical Research Letters, 1993 In the 48‐hour period of 06 UT March 12 to 06 UT March 14, 1993, the eastern United States experienced one of the most severe storms of the century, This winter storm produced over 59,000 cloud‐to‐ground flashes with a peak lightning rate exceeding 5,100 flashes per hour.

Mapping the cloud-to-ground lightning occurrence in Fiji [PDF]
The South Pacific Journal of Natural and Applied Sciences, 2006 Using the Time Of Group Arrival (TOGA) of sferics two year (Jan2003-Dec2004) annual average of about 3,200 and 1,200 cloud-to-ground (CG) flashes were recorded in the two larger islands, Viti Levu and Vanua Levu, Fiji. A two year average CG flash density showed maxima of 0.80 and 0.35 flashes/km2 per year in two islands.

Unusual vertical oscillations of a radiosonde
Weather, EarlyView.In summer 2023 in southern England, several unusual balloon launches were observed which descended for a few minutes before resuming ascent. This unusual vertical oscillation was repeated several times in a ‘roller‐coaster’‐like pattern. This article discusses the behaviour of the balloons.

Trends in thunderstorm days, lightning activity, squalls and the environmental factors in Hong Kong
Weather, EarlyView.This study analyses trends in Hong Kong's convective weather using long‐term observer‐based and shorter‐term instrument‐based data. Annual thunderstorm days increased significantly by 1.9 days decade−1 in 1947–2024, notably in June–September, consistent with increasingly favourable warm‐season environments for thunderstorms.

Weather, EarlyView.The English language is a gargantuan, gluttonous beast. It has become extraordinary among its peers in its powers of assimilation – such that we rarely consider the diverse origins of the words we use. In this two‐part paper, we will explore these origins, including the Pontic‐Caspian steppe, the British Empire, latinophone scientists and a TV show. We
