Heat lightning (not to be confused with dry thunderstorms, which are also often called dry lightning) is a misnomer [1] used for the faint flashes of lightning on the horizon or other clouds from distant thunderstorms that do not appear to have accompanying sounds of thunder.
Some climate change effects: wildfire caused by heat and dryness, bleached coral caused by ocean acidification and heating, environmental migration caused by desertification, and coastal flooding caused by storms and sea level rise. Effects of climate change are well documented and growing for Earth's natural environment and human societies. Changes to the climate system include an overall ...
The peak of heat burst conditions is the maximum observed temperature. The beginning of a heat burst is the time during which the air temperature increases without decreasing until after the peak; the end of a heat burst is when the system ceases to affect the temperature and dew point of the area.
Therefore, the sunbeam hitting the ground at a 30° angle spreads the same amount of light over twice as much area (if we imagine the Sun shining from the south at noon, the north–south width doubles; the east–west width does not). Consequently, the amount of light falling on each square mile is only half as much. Figure 3
High pressure systems in the temperate latitudes generally bring warm weather in summer, when the amount of heat received from the Sun during daytime exceeds what is lost at night, and cold weather in winter when the amount of heat lost at night exceeds what is gained during daytime. [3] In the Southern Hemisphere the result is similar.
As the clouds disperse, sunny weather replaces cloudiness in a cycle that can occur more than once a day. In winter, an inversion can lead to the development of ice pellets and freezing rain. Both these phenomena occur when snow melts in a warm layer aloft and falls into a colder layer near the surface.

Cloud cover over Melbourne and southern Victoria. The shallow and enclosed Port Phillip Bay is often warmer than the surrounding landmass and the oceanic waters of Bass Strait (particularly in spring and autumn), and this can set up a "bay effect" similar to the lake effect seen in colder regions, where showers are intensified leeward of the bay.
