What is the Real Form of the Rainbow?

Did you know that a full rainbow is actually a complete circle? The thing is that it’s not an arc we are used to see but a complete circle partly hidden from us. And only in certain conditions, like being on an airplane or standing on a mountain one can see an amazing view of an entire circular rainbow.

What Makes Light Drizzle Light?

Light drizzle is a type of precipitation with very small raindrops. The drops are around 0.2 to 0.5 millimeters in diameter, making them barely visible. Light drizzle often occurs in cooler temperatures between 10 to 18 degrees Celsius. The air is usually calm with little wind. Light drizzle forms when low, gray clouds called stratus clouds cover the sky.

Solano: Warm Wind in Southern Spain

In the southern sector of Spain, a wind known as the Solano holds a special place in the hearts of the locals. Solano is a south to south-easterly wind that brings warmth, occurring predominantly in the summer and early autumn seasons. Solano is primarily caused by the interaction between high-pressure systems in the Azores and low-pressure systems in the Mediterranean.

How Hurricanes Get Their Names?

Did you know how hurricanes and typhoons get their names? Previously, no system existed; the names of the hurricanes depended on the date (for example, Hurricane Santa Anna, which happened on St. Anne’s Day) or its form (as happened with Hurricane “Pin”). There were even anecdotic cases: for example, one meteorologist from Australia used to give the hurricanes the names of politicians who voted against the budget for meteorological research.

Blizzard

A blizzard is winter’s grand crescendo, a fierce and relentless combination of heavy snowfall and strong winds. The world seems to vanish behind a curtain of swirling snow, with visibility dropping to near zero. Temperatures plummet well below freezing, often in the range of -30 to -10°C (-22 to 14°F).

Blowing Snow

Blowing snow is winter’s dramatic flair, a spectacle of snowflakes whisked into frenzied dances by gusty winds. It’s like the snow is being choreographed in a ballet, twirling, rising, and swirling in the air. This isn’t your gentle snowfall; it’s dynamic and animated. With temperatures well below freezing, often around -5 to -15°C (23 to 5°F), the landscape turns into a frosty realm.
