8. Atmospheric Rivers
Atmospheric rivers are defined by hydroclimatologist Francisca Dominguez of the University of Illinois as: βlong and narrow corridors of intense water vapor transport.β The term βatmospheric riverβ was introduced during the early 1990βs by meteorologists Reginald Newell and Yong Zhu, who published a study in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.
7. Moonbows
A moonbow? What is a moonbow?? A moonbow is similar to a rainbow, but there are a few major differences. Rainbows are caused by the sun shining on droplets of moisture, and they typically occur after it rains. Moonbows, also known as lunar rainbows, happen in the dark and are much rarer than βnormalβ rainbows.
6. Non-Aqueous Rain
Sometimes, strange things, such as animals, fall from the sky. This is called non-aqueous rain, which doesnβt really portray the shock and surprise of creatures raining down on you!! Throughout history, instances of non-aqueous rain of all kinds, animals, and just strange stuff, have been reported in many parts of the world.
5. Fire Whirls
Fire whirls are also commonly referred to as fire devils or fire tornadoes. They form when intense rising heat and strong whirlwinds combine, and are usually not scientifically classified as tornadoes, despite sometimes being nicknamed as such. Instead, they form a βtornado-like vortex,β with a burning core and a rotating pocket of air.
4. Catatumbo Lightning
This atmospheric phenomenon is named after the only place on the planet where it occurs. Catatumbo lightning, or RelΓ‘mpago del Catatumbo, happens in the far northwest of Venezuela, where the mouth of the Catatumbo River empties into Lake Maracaibo. This location is nicknamed βthe most electric place on Earth,β and for good reason – on average, the lightning occurs 260 days a year annually, and lasts for up to ten hours each time it happens, striking as many as 280 times per hour.
3. Morning Glory Clouds
Morning Glory clouds, or solitary wave clouds, are an extremely rare type of wave cloud that take the form of a series of narrow tubes, each of which can be up to 600 miles long. Each soliton, or tube, moves without changing shape or speed. The most impressive Morning Glory clouds in the world can be found in the Gulf of Carpentaria in Queensland, Australia, which is also the only region where the clouds occur in a predictable fashion.
2. Lofoten Temperature Anomalies
Despite being located above the Arctic Circle, the temperatures in the Lofoten Islands of Norway rarely dip below freezing. This warmer-than-usual weather is thanks to the convergence of two underwater currents, known as the North Atlantic Current and the Norwegian Current, with the Gulf Stream.
1. Nighttime Heat Bursts
Heat bursts are sudden spikes in temperature caused by dissipating thunderstorms and can occur well into the night. The rain from a dissipating thunderstorm can evaporate at once if a dry layer of air develops within the storm. A bubble of cool, dense air is created by the evaporating rain, and rushes toward the ground. As it falls, this bubble of air compresses and heats up.

Dinosaurs were found flash frozen in near perfect condition with green vegetation in their mouths and stomachs. J.L.Y.
Living on the big island of Hawaii I have seen Moonbows many times, they always happen on the Hilo side.
200 or 2000 degrees Fahrenheit?
OH THATS WHY I SAW A RAINBOW AND THERES ANOTHER RAINBOW ABOVE IT AT NIGHT SI THAT RAE I FORGOT TO TAKE A PIC
I've seen a moonbow! My mind was blown
What about the lightning that strikes air not the ground it goes upwards not down
i know the catatumbo lighting we learned in school
Video says firewhirls hit 200Β° but she said 2000Β°. Makes me sick.
You said 2000 degrees F on fire whirls, but the graphic said 200 f
How cool!
Pineapple Express ππ€£
HEHE We were just talking about a Moonbow.
Learn how to pronounce the proper names.
One time, after hurricane Sandy, crawfish rained down by my house, some were still alive
Still waiting for the origin explain T-shirt for sale
Katrina, I love your voice. Its very soothing. I often doze off watching videos you narrate. Keep the Origins Explained Explained videos coming. There are extremely interesting and I look forward to watching them (and hearing you) on daily basis.
I live by Cumberland falls and the moonbow isnβt that great lol highly overrated
Moonbow isn't that a skill in fire emblem.
i see a moonbow in victoria falls
Hi Katrina
You actually didnβt clickbait me!
NO MORE CLICKBAIT
Fire whirl: not a tornado
Thumbnail: tornado that caught fire.
I just Love π how you pronounce "Exotic" name's of the Earth π. Wooo Whooo π π’. Regards Bruce McKay π¦πΊππββοΈ

Mashaa Allah:-) hebatnya kuasa Allah kan:-)

This chick is dumb
The only god I love is NATHURAM GODSE.
ROFLMAO π€£π€£π€£
Because he is justice.
Atmospheric rivers….reminds me of those things I see in the sky… theyβre called clouds. Smh
Cool
Rainbows aren't called sunbows..so why are moonbows called moonbows?
This is probably my sadistic side from childhood trauma speaking but I kinda want to see what the part about the raining blood looks like in real life
You need to read your BIBLE.
ITS NOT A PHENOMENON, READ YOUR BIBLES ITS THE LORD THY GOD IN ALL THESE THINGS JESUS IS COMING BELIEVE ON HIS HOLY NAME AND BE SAVED THY IN THY HOUSEHOLD ACTS 16:31
I see moon bows all the time
Quran [2:266] (Would any of you like to have a garden of palm trees and vines, graced with flowing streams and all kinds of produce, which, when you are afflicted with old age and feeble offspring, is struck by a fiery whirlwind and burnt down? In this way God makes His messages clear to you, so that you may reflect on them.)
How come an illiterate man in the desert imagine a fiery whirl! He is the messenger of God.
I have seen a morning glory cloud It was during a thunderstorm and looked like smoke as it approached
(2:55) Niagara Falls……..that is what we are going when we visit Grimsby in the niagara region, the same region as Grimsby.
I LOVE MORNING GLORY CLOUDS!! π I SEEN ONE TODAY
The thumbnail looks like it was from Into the storm
What about the Giant Dust Cloud in Australia
Wow so awesome β
You should do an individual video on just non-aqueous rain events. Seems like u could research and come up with a top 10 coolest/weirdest ones. I was interested in seeing more but like u said, there was not enough time in the video and it was only 1 point. Just a suggestion. Great job as usual.
Non. Aqueous Rain Is Cause By Tornadoes Sucking Up Items And Dropping Them Down As Non Aqueous Rain
I've seen fire tornados. They are extremely scary, especially being surrounded by a wildfire and they pop up and spread more fires
I love all your videos!! Keep doing all that good work and stay safe
