More heat means more water evaporation, which means more water vapor in the air. More water vapor in the air leads to the LCL (lifting condensation level: the height at which the relative humidity of a parcel of air reaches 100%) tending to be lower to the ground; and tornadoes are more likely to form -- and be stronger when they do -- when the LCL is lower than higher. The worst tornadoes happen when the LCL is at about 400-600 meters; that's about the right height for air movement to cause the strongest rotation.

More heat also means stronger convective currents, which increases SRH (storm relative helicity: a measure of wind shear potential for cyclonic updraft rotation); and higher SRH also contributes to tornado formation because more air moving = more chance for a vortex to form.

the loss of arctic ice makes the planet lighter, allowing it to spin more rapidly. This in turn gives the wind more spin.

Holy poo poo.

It's felt so loving windy here for the last month in a prime wild fire area.

So it gets windier, causing trees to fall and burn towns to the ground


I've also read that this will be the longest summer in record. That can't be good for India.

Windmills create more wind thru the vortex effect. This, when combined with the extra heat from radiation being reflected into the atmosphere by solar panels, has caused global warming

so what you're saying is once the climate gets hot enough that the LCL is consistently below 400m the tornados will go away, so we just need to keep on going

Is a Dollar Tree warehouse. Unlike Amazon, they actually followed safety procedures and from what I've read, people are saying everyone was ok.

why is that better than, say a normal date that includes the month and the year, which would also allow you to instantly see it's the third day of the month
