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.

_Willy willy_

Also known as dust devils, Willy willys are whirlwinds that can reach over 1000 feet in height. It is the dust and debris that get caught within them that makes them visible.

They mainly occur in desert and semi-arid areas, where the ground is dry and high surface temperatures produce strong updrafts.

In Navajo culture, willy-willy were thought to be the ghosts or spirits of the dead

_Brocken spectre_

A Brocken spectre is the large magnified shadow of an observer, cast onto clouds or mist.

They are most often seen on mountain tops, when a person stands above cloud level.

They can create the illusion of a giant shadowy figure seen dimly through the mist.

Shifting water droplets in the cloud or mist can also make the shadow appear to move.

Often the spectre will be combined with a circular ‘glory’, appearing as a rainbow halo around the shadow’s head.

_Lenticular clouds_

Usually formed behind hills or mountains, where the air is stable and winds at different heights are blowing from a similar direction.

The wind is interrupted, the airflow undulates and condenses into these disc-shaped clouds.

They can sometimes be seen as far as 60 miles downwind of the mountains that formed them.

They are also believed to be one of the most common explanations for UFO sightings.

_Aurora_

Visible in the sky in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres, usually near the poles, auroras are mysterious and beautiful natural light shows.

They are caused by collisions between electrically charged particles released from the sun and gas molecules such as oxygen and nitrogen in the Earth’s atmosphere.

Many cultures have myths relating to aurora – In Finland it was believed that the lights were caused by the firefox, who ran so quickly across the snow that his tail caused sparks to fly into the night sky.

_Haboob_

Haboob began as a name for intense dust storms over the Saharan desert, coming from the Arabic word meaning “strong wind”.

It is now often used to describe powerful dust storms that occur in arid regions throughout the world.

Haboobs can grow to be around 10,000 feet high and the strongest can travel over 100 miles.

They are caused by strong wind, flowing down and out from thunderstorms or strong showers.

These strong winds stir up a thick wall of dust, which can move at up to 60 mph.

Las Vegas (NV), Australia, Texas (Eagle Pass and Hobbs), Mexico and Greeley, CO have all had strange, damaging weather events in the first week of May 2012.

Not to mention the unexpected dust storm in Iowa during the same week: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IW1wMNNcqXM as well as a very rare – and unfortunately, deadly – tornado in Tokyo, Japan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0tJyiQ0Eaeg

For more info simply search google with the name of the town and/or call-letters of the news station along with any applicable keywords. You can do it, I believe in you
