SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the occurrence of low precipitation rotating cells in West Ryde, NSW, Australia, during the summer storm season, which spans from September to March. Participants confirm that while tornadoes can occur in Australia, they are less frequent and less intense compared to those in the United States. The conversation also humorously touches on the potential for exporting stronger tornadoes, highlighting the cultural differences in storm experiences between the two countries.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of meteorological phenomena, specifically rotating cells
  • Knowledge of seasonal weather patterns in the Southern Hemisphere
  • Familiarity with tornado characteristics and classifications
  • Awareness of the cultural context surrounding storms in Australia and the USA
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the characteristics of low precipitation rotating cells
  • Study the meteorological conditions that lead to tornado formation in Australia
  • Explore the differences between Australian and American tornadoes
  • Investigate the impact of seasonal weather patterns on storm development
USEFUL FOR

Meteorologists, weather enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the dynamics of storm systems and tornado occurrences in different geographical contexts.

Cool pictures!

Is this a summer-time phenomena?

Do these formations lead to tornadoes?

Yes, we are in summer in the southern hemisphere but the storm season stretches from around September through December to around March

Tornadoes do occur in Australia, but that are not as common nor as big as their USA cousinsDave
 
So ahh Dave, hey we'd be willing to export a few of these F5 babies. I mean if you're interested.I'm sure the folks here would be happy for them living in another country as nice and big as Australia.

They don't take up a lot of space and they due tend to rain on parades. Oh yes, and don't be living in a trailer home at the time otherwise you'll wind up in Kansas.
