8. Atmospheric Rivers
Atmospheric rivers are defined by hydroclimatologist Francisca Dominguez of the University of Illinois as: “long and narrow corridors of intense water vapor transport.” The term “atmospheric river” was introduced during the early 1990’s 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 “normal” rainbows.

6. Non-Aqueous Rain
Sometimes, strange things, such as animals, fall from the sky. This is called non-aqueous rain, which doesn’t 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 “tornado-like vortex,” 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 Relámpago del Catatumbo, happens in the far northwest of Venezuela, where the mouth of the Catatumbo River empties into Lake Maracaibo. This location is nicknamed “the most electric place on Earth,” 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.
