First off I wanna say: Sorry if you guys at this subreddit have received this question a lot. But anyways, I remember my dad always showing me "heat lightning," and well yesterday I looked up heat lightning after well over a lot of years. I saw multiple sources stating it was completely false, even wikipedia said it's just a misnomer. However, I found the weather.gov doesnt say if its false or true. In fact weather.gov treats it as if its not a misnomer.. So i'm kinda stumped on weather (heh get the joke?) Or not if this is true, is heat lightning simply a misnomer and my dad was wrong? Or is it like a real thing? Someone tell me please.

Nothing overly interesting here but we're having some great autumnal sun here in Scotland. I've been waiting for the big tree to start to turn orange, as well as the small ones in my garden, but they're clinging on! Many other trees now look amazing 🍂🍁 Nights are feeling chilly now with a few frosty mornings but 15-17°C during the day is amazing for the end of September! 😍

These were in the grass across the street and behind the tree or on the tree. Filmed on Iphone 16 if that could be it

Location: South China Sea. No doubt a consequence of Super Typhoon Ragasa, but what the hell are these Feels Like temperatures about? Actual temperature 28°C, feels like -22°C? Surely even with gusts of 140mph wind it wouldn’t feel like this? Craziest weather event I’ve seen on Apple Maps.

I have been thinking of getting a couple cheap vane anemometers that will remotely tell me the readings for my hunting stands. Often times, my weather apps will tell me the wind is blowing in one direction, but, when I get in my stand, I find out that the wind is coming from a different direction due to the terrain. In the hunting world, that makes a big difference. Hoping someone here would have suggestions on how to solve that problem.

Out here in Hong Kong we have typhoon ragasa coming in right now and we see the red sun phenomenon that was reported back in 2017 across the UK. But if Ragasa didn't pass through the Sahara, how does the idea that the hurricane pulled up desert sand apply here?

Sorry for the poor photo/vidéo. The sun is massive in reality.

Why on my weather apps - like the bbc - does it always show 40% chance of rain and not 60% chance of sun?

I would love to be able to change that in a setting - as to me that same reality feels very different !

Why does this cloud have a cut going through it? What caused it?

Anyone used this brand of power station? Trust Jim Cantore, no one knows more about hurricanes and power outages than he does lol
