Yep, I have been listening to the UV warnings up to 14.....extreme to say the least. You bet there is more going on. Use this site in late afternoon/evening then click on "Lightning" and "rainfall". You will notice that the atmosphere is highly charged. It will shock you. No rain though. Our bushfires are started by lightning and will get worse. Then check the cloud cover against the radar return. Click "radar". Some cloud does not show up on radar but when you get these anomalous returns with no cloud to show for it then there has to be something up unless some expert can tell me otherwise.
