  2. ⚡ NEW: Climate scientists Andrew Dowdy and Jason Evans in #Australia tracked how rising #heat fuels dry strikes and massive fire #clouds.

    When brush fires burn hot enough, the rising smoke and moisture can form towering stormheads that spit new bolts far ahead of the blaze. It shows how extreme fires actually build their own destructive #weather systems.

  3. A bolt of lightning is five times hotter than the surface of the Sun. ⚡

    The air around a strike heats to about 30,000°C — hotter than the Sun's surface at ~5,500°C — which is why the air explodes outward as thunder.
