#monsoon
Monsoon III by photographer Mike Olbinski is a stunning collection of time-lapse videos showing how a monsoon forms. During the summer, the sun quickly warms the land. The air above it warms up as well so it rises and expands, turning into a low pressure system. Moisture-laden air from the oceans sweeps in, lifts up, condenses, and thus - storms are formed.
These gifs frankly do not give the video justice. Watch it on Vimeo.

Warm, Humid Conditions, Rain on the Radar
May. 15, 2022
It felt like the summer monsoon season was already getting its start this morning, with electrified OR clouds and warm, humid conditions. The radar and forecast said nothing about rain this morning.
The clouds were the type that occur on the edge of rain systems. I turned the chembuster from northwest facing to straight up to see if rain could be encouraged locally. Then, out of nowhere, rain showed up on the radar for the central coast and inland mountain and desert areas and our skies became cloudier. Interestingly, playing the radar loop, this rain only appeared for a second, while normally it would move through the series of images so you could see where it came from and where it was projected to go.
We did not get rain here, and I wasn’t expecting it, because these were not rain producing clouds. But my analysis was correct that there was activity nearby. We have been working on increasing the reach of the monsoon and hopefully also the duration. This system came up from southwest, so we are beginning to see the change in pattern that occurs in spring and summer.
Incidentally the same two military planes from the other day flew over the mountain valley during the time the rain was on the radar.

Transitions

As a huge rainstorm approaches California, the flyers moved urgently through the atmosphere today. In the morning there was a rare 4 banger, which seems to happen as major shifts occur in the atmosphere. They appear to be struggling and the trails twist and break up before clearing. The plane looked like an artist’s rendering, very holographic. One of the photos when zoomed in had a white pixel we often find in our photographs of “planes.”
In the afternoon, lenticular clouds formed to the north and east, and to the west were bright white summer cloud formations, as seen during monsoon season. We are at the end of the winter-spring rainy season and approaching the second rainy season of the year.
Because of the gridding work done in Arizona last summer, we expect a repeat performance of the amplified monsoon season. The goal was to end wildfire season, a time of rampant arson in the west, caused by US Forest Service “prescribed burns” and mind controlled individuals.
As one rainy season ends and the next one begins, I see the two now merging so that California has year-round rain and an end to the wildfires. The monsoon activity which occurs in Arizona and New Mexico is now spreading farther west into Southern California and farther north into Nevada and Utah. Neutralizing DOR sources throughout Phoenix and the vast deserts of Arizona was needed to allow this expansion of precipitation in the west.
