Quasi-Linear Convective Systems in Catalonia Detected Through Radar and Lightning Data
Remote SensingQuasi-Linear Convective Systems (QLCSs) are a type of Mesoscale Convective System characterised by their linear shape and association with severe weather phenomena (such as hail, tornadoes, or wind gusts). This study deals with the application of a technique that consists of combinations of radar and lightning data to identify QLCS in Catalonia (the ...

Fatal lightning strikes in Ireland from newspaper records 1900–2024
Weather, EarlyView.This study presents a chronology of fatal lightning strikes in Ireland (1900–2024) derived from digitised newspaper archives. Analysis provides insights into the seasonality, location, victim activity and synoptic conditions (from Lamb weather types) of 94 fatal events causing 113 deaths.

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.
