Flash was not detected in the preliminary review of the 2017 storm, but was found when a storm was re -educated.

The World Meteorological Organization (VMO) recorded a record splash of lightning – 829 kilometers long. This happened in October 2017 in the popular storm zone in Great Plain in the United States. This is reported on the organization’s website.

Megavpleske occurred more than eight years ago during a strong storm. It covers territory from East Texas to Kansas City. The car to overcome this distance will take about eight to nine hours, and a commercial aircraft-at least 90 minutes.

“It is 61 kilometers greater than the previous note set on April 29, 2020 in the territory of the southern United States, worth 768 ± 8 km (477.2 ± 5 miles),” the organization said.

The VMO Committee on Extreme Weather and Climatic Phenomena has decided a new note using the latest satellite technologies.

The results were published on the American Meteorological Society ballot. A record surge in lightning occurred in one of the vulnerable zones for the storms of MESOP -scale convective systems (ISS), the dynamics leading to emergency megavples.

This is one of the first storms where the NOAA’s latest geostational satellite (GOES-16) has recorded the “megavples” of lightning associated with excessive and distant lightning categories.

Advancement was not discovered during the preliminary review of the 2017 storm, but was found when a storm was repeated, added to VMO.

Keep in mind that Europe is experiencing an annoying tag -sun: large -scale forest fires, record heat, storms and sudden floods that cover Portugal, Spain, France, Hungary, Croatia and Serbia. Experts associate it with the consequences of climate change.

A new temperature record was recorded in Western Europe
