Learn about the conditions that must be met to be a supercealer

Arabia's weather - the super cloud or what is called the supercell cloud is considered one of the western natural phenomena that need specific and exceptional weather conditions.

What are the conditions for a supercell cloud?

Very high humidity in the upper atmosphere, cold air currents, and warm and humid air currents, when all characteristics are formed, especially in the tropical regions.

How does a supercell cloud form?

Scientists have shown that a supercell cloud is formed when a cold air depression meets a moist and warm air stream coming from the tropics, so the hot air becomes in the lower layers and the cold air in the upper layers due to its density, which causes the water droplets to condense and become large in size, and due to the big difference in degree Air temperature, the air rises very quickly to the upper atmosphere, which carries with it a large amount of water particles to the top, and the air revolves around each other due to the temperature difference, and this gives the supercell cloud its strange shape.

Because of the difference in air temperature, water droplets condense and freeze, giving the supercell clouds their dark color, and because of the circulation of air and the decrease in pressure, a funnel is formed in which the wind speed reaches 500 kilometers per hour, which leads to the uprooting of trees, rooftops and even cars and everything that falls in Epicenter of that storm.

Damage to the super torrent cloud

Widespread destruction due to torrential rains, severe (possibly fatal) lightning strikes, strong winds and very huge hailstones that may reach 7 cm in diameter.

Areas that are most exposed to cloud formation:

Argentina, southern Brazil, Uruguay, and the Great Plains of the United States of America, and in the tropics.
