When Fires Make Rain

The intense heat from wildfires fuels updrafts, lifting smoke and vapor into the atmosphere. As the plume rises, water vapor cools and condenses around particles (including ash particles) to form cloud droplets. (Image credit: L. Dauphin; via NASA Earth Observatory) Read the full article

530+ acre fire near my home made a spectacular and terrifying pyrocumulus cloud. People pulling off road to look. It can be seen all the way at the coast.

Saw a video on TikTok of a volcano spitting lightning from a pyrocumulus cloud, and that shits even wilder in motion. I think those societies with volcano gods were on to something.

What's your favorite type of cloud?

The immature side of me really wants to answer “mammatus” because boobs.

I really like asperitas because they look like you’re looking up at waves on the ocean. Just kind of reminds you that the atmosphere is indeed a fluid.

I also like cumulus - specifically cumulus mediocris - but really like them in the spring or fall when they’re kind of close to the ground and they’re made up mostly of ice crystals so they have this crisp look to them and they often race by overhead because the winds just above the surface are really ripping. They’re kind of this intermediary between the fair weather cumulus and the cumulonimbus. They don’t produce much, if any, precip. They may be called mediocris but they’re not mediocre to me 🩵🥹

Also in the category of cumulus: pyrocumulus and pyrocumulonimbus. Because the concept of a fire being so hot and intense it’s literally creating its own weather system is just kind of crazy.

you guys remember my ghoulsona Secular? well i redesigned them.

i also convinced @randomfandomsoup to create a ghoulsona. now Secular has a platonic boyfriend.

new secular!!

•they are a water & quintessence hybrid/multi ghoul. •uses it/its/they/them pronouns but also enjoys the occasional masc terms since it dresses more feminine in their free time. •wears knee braces because it has really bad knee pain. •has known their partner since he was summoned, sec loves their partner. •their mustache is fake, its just mascara on its peach fuzz

Pyrocumulus created by @randomfandomsoup! (portrait drawing also done by soup)

•is a fire & air hybrid/multi ghoul •uses he/they pronouns •gets called Smokey or Smokey Babes by Secular •has narcolepsy and RBF. but not angry just sleepy and doesn’t know how to control their features Sec gets confused every time even though it has been close with pyro since he was summoned •after rituals Smokey and Sec lay down together in comfy clothes as pyro lays on top of Secular to ease their mind and help its knee aches. they are a big heap of purring mush when they finally fall asleep together.

i love these goofs and im so excited to soon gets some art together and draw pyro since i didnt get time today.

Pyrocumulus by Arthur Sze

Peony shoots rise out of the earth;

at five a.m., walking up the ridge,

I mark how, in April, Orion's left arm

was an apex in the sky, and, by May,

only Venus flickered above the ridge

against the blue edge of sunrise.

In daylight, a pear tree explodes

with white blossoms—no black-

footed ferret slips across my path,

no boreal owl stirs on a branch.

At three a.m., dogs seethed and howled

when a black bear snagged a shriveled

apple off a branch; and, waking out

of a black pool, I glimpsed how

fire creates its own weather

in rising pyrocumulus. Reaching

the ditch, I drop the gate: it's time

for the downhill pipes to fill,

time for bamboo at the house

to suck up water, time to see sunlight

flare between leaves before

the scorching edge of afternoon.

#1105 What causes a fire tornado?

What causes a fire tornado? A fire tornado is caused when the intense heat from the fire rapidly warms the air above the ground and makes it rise in a spiral. Fire tornadoes are fairly common, but it is very uncommon for someone to see them because you would need to be in the middle of a forest fire or some other kind of vast fire. If you search on YouTube, you can find examples of them. Fire tornadoes are also actually not tornadoes, which is why they have several different names. They are called fire whirls, fire devils, fire whirlwind, fire twister, and sometimes firenado. I am going to continue to call them fire tornadoes, though. Why are they not tornadoes? A tornado is a column of air that descends from a massive thunderstorm, while whirlwinds, waterspouts, and fire tornados rise up from the ground and don’t have to be associated with a thunderstorm, thus they are not really tornadoes. In a tornado, there is always a supercell thunderstorm, which is much bigger than a regular thunderstorm. Rising warm air and sinking cold air in the middle of the supercell make it rotate. As the supercell gets bigger, more warm air goes upwards and cold air comes out of the middle of the storm towards the ground. The warm moist air creates a spinning funnel in the middle and the cold sinking air pulls the funnel down to the ground, where it becomes a tornado. Waterspouts and fire tornadoes form in a similar way and it is the exact opposite way to a tornado. A tornado is pulled down from the sky by the sinking cold air, but a waterspout and a fire tornado are pulled up from the ground by the rising warm air. In the case of a waterspout, the sun heats the surface of the sea and the air above it. The warm air rises up, carrying a lot of moisture with it because warm air has more energy, which means it can hold more water. This happens anywhere when the sun heats the sea but when there is a strong horizontal wind, a waterspout can form. The horizontal wind blows past the rising warm air and spins it. Once the waterspout has started to spin, the wind makes it go faster and a column of water is sucked up into the sky. Waterspouts are not as powerful as tornadoes, and they don’t last very long. A fire tornado forms in the same way as a waterspout, but the ground is heated by the fire and not by the sun. This usually happens during a wildfire, although fire tornadoes occurred during the firebombing of German and Japanese cities during World War 2. Wildfires create their own wind and weather, which leads to the formation of fire tornadoes. The main principle is that warm air rises. When the fire starts, the center of the fire becomes very hot. The temperature can get over 1,000℃, which is almost hot enough to melt gold. The fire heats the air above it, which rises very quickly. When the air rises, it creates a vacuum where it was, which draws more cold air and fire into it. This air is then heated and rises, creating a circular effect. The air that is drawn into the fire brings in more oxygen, which makes the fire burn more fiercely and hotter, making more hot air rise. This rising hot air can cause clouds to form. The hot air carries a lot of ash and when it gets higher, it starts to cool down. The water it is carrying condenses on the ash and forms clouds called pyrocumulus, which means “fire cloud”. The fire clouds can become storms in their own right and there is often lightning, which can light even more fires. The whole system feeds itself and is incredibly difficult to extinguish. In the same way as a waterspout, the rising hot air from the center of the fire can get spun by the fast winds coming in to to fill the void where the air had been. When they spin the column of air, it sucks fire up with it, creating a rising fire tornado. Owing to climate change, wildfires are becoming more common and there will be more fire tornadoes because they are a natural phenomenon. Wildfires are almost impossible to extinguish because they are too big and too hot. The only thing that firefighters can do is to try to cut fire gaps so that the fire can’t head towards towns or farms. This doesn’t always work and the wind that the fire creates can make the fire jump large gaps. The hot dry air above the fire dries out all of the vegetation, making it more flammable. And this is what I learned today.

VOL 8: ROUND 2: PART 7

[advancedscurvy]

Perfume vibe check! Except I'm also gonna share some that remind me of your blog: Your blog name and pfp remind me a lot of Alkemia and Possets, something classic with fruit or florals like Elegant Coquette or any of the florals in Posset's Silver series. I haven't tried any of those so if I had to pick from my collection, I'd say Caveau de Innocents from Alkemia or even Hayloft from Pineward!

omg, i actually have a lot of alkemia, caveau des innocents sounds like one of those saucy perfumes i would buy in the hopes of being, well, a bit saucy, but i actually really find sweet notes overwhelming so i would probably stash it and forget to come back to it because rum candied pears would make my head spin

from my collection? i’d probably pair you with osmofolia’s “pyrocumulus”. it has this smokey resiny quality that’s really unique compared to my other similar perfumes, it really is very atmospheric and intriguing, and i think that would be a good match for you.
