The Power of S Class Flares and how They Create Super Thunderstorms (SuperCells) Return to Homepage


Go to Article Index

We can predict when powerful thunderstorms occur on earth.  Condition Blues - Major Scientific Discoveries and Breakthroughs and Major Weather and Storms. Most scientific breakthroughs occur as new ideas and insights personal to the individual, so is is almost impossible to locate these exact dates of "enlightenment" of a new way to solve a problem.  However another very interesting effect from condition blues is weather will grow more unpredictable.  This always brings back the memory of the scientist making Frankenstein come to life during a huge thunderstorm. As far as the supercell thunderstorms there will always be an increase in the S Class Flare type on the day it happens.  Because we are dealing with solar energies, there is sometimes a "time distortion". Sometimes the increase may occur 24 hrs later or after, but always within this time frame.



A supercell is a thunderstorm that is characterized by the presence of a mesocyclone: a deep, persistently rotating updraft. For this reason, these storms are sometimes referred to as rotating thunderstorms. Of the four classifications of thunderstorms supercell, squall line, multi-cell, and single-cell), supercells are the overall least common and have the potential to be the most severe. Supercells are often isolated from other thunderstorms, and can dominate the local climate up to 32 kilometers (20 mi) away. Supercell thunderstorms can sweep through any time between March and November, but are concentrated in the spring.
