Cumulonimbus, Cumulus & shower time lapse video!

Cumulonimbus clouds in Scandinavia do not appear as often as they do in Southern areas of Europe and they don't have the same lifetime or intensity. Another bad thing is that they form easier over mainland, than sea... So, it’s not many thunderstorms Southern Norway experiences, in contrast to areas North of Oslo, where they have had some nice thunderstorms this summer.
However, two weeks ago, on 3 August, the unstable atmosphere formed some interesting clouds. From the early morning, some small Cumulonimbus clouds started coming from the mainland...


... giving some showers, but without electrical phenomena and their duration was very short, too.

The time lapse video can show exactly what happened that day.


Something else interesting was that the same evening, the instability was moved over the sea, where new Cumulus clouds had started forming.


It makes me sad, that thunderstorms in Norway are not as spectacular and severe as in Greece, but the positive is that there are plenty of clouds to photograph all year long-like the nocticulent clouds I wrote about.
