The tongue of hot air from Iberia that loads the sky with thunder.
Size

What you get: An unframed print on heavyweight 240 gsm matte fine art paper, A3 (297 x 420 mm) or A2 (420 x 594 mm), usually sent rolled in a tube. The print shown.

Hot, humid air drawn north over England on 1 July 2015, reaching 36.7 °C in the hottest square kilometre, at West Drayton beside Heathrow. It rides in a mile or so up, over cooler air near the ground, storing energy the sun's heat alone could never supply. When something lifts it, the result is thunder.

  • Colours: wet-bulb potential temperature at 850 hPa, the forecaster's measure of warmth and moisture together
  • The storms' fuel, CAPE, ringed and stippled
  • No. 1 in the weather types of the British Isles series
