Some new fires popping up today--some ignited by lightning yesterday. #GarnetFire on Sierra Nevada west slope is putting up a striking pyrocumulus plume (transitioning toward pyrocumulonimbus--a "fire-generated thunderstorm" cloud) under continued hot & unstable conditions. #CAwx #CAfire

Alles, alles war und ist bekannt und es wird weiterhin ignoriert.

Wir haben den Pyrocumulonimbus 2020 erklärt, die Mechanismen sind die Gleichen. In Frankreich war zumindest ein Cumulus dieser Art zu beobachten. Die Brände erzeugen ihr eigenes Wetter.

Nearly a week into devastating wildfires in France, officials said that firefighters had encountered a pyrocumulonimbus — a “fire cloud,” or a thundercloud created by intense heat. The phenomenon can spark new blazes and is “unprecedented in France,” officials said. Here's what to know.

NASA’s ER-2 (modified U-2) collecting data over British Columbia for the INjected Smoke and PYRocumulonimbus Experiment (INSPYRE) investigating “the role of pyrocumulonimbus (pyroCb) in the earth system” and “links to extreme wildfire behavior.” fr24.com/NASA806/4114...

Robust plumes of pyrocumulonimbus billow from wildfires in Alberta.

These were among many wildfires exhibiting extreme behavior yesterday across Canada.

Pyrocumulonimbus clouds are becoming more common here as well. They create fire conditions where you don't have a hope of containing a fire. Scary as hell.
📢 Two wildfires burning in the western United States are so hot that they are spurring the formation of “fire clouds” that can create their own erratic weather systems.

Pyro-cumulo-nimbus - gar nicht so schwer auszusprechen, aber eine extrem gefährliche Erscheinung. Mischung aus Feuer und einer Gewitterwolke, in Europa extrem selten.

Nun neues Feature in der globalen Erhitzung auch hier zu bestaunen.

🔥 Fires continue to rage in Portugal and Spain today, with thick plumes of smoke and pyrocumulonimbus drifting northward.

Another notable pyrocumulus/possible pyrocumulonimbus plume atop the #GarnetFire again this afternoon amid continued unstable airmass/hot conditions along the Southern Sierra western slope. Partial fire-related closure of Sierra National Forecast begins Thu. #CAwx #CAfire

An interesting, if unfortunate, sight flying over Montana yesterday on the way home. Apparently a big wildfire sending plumes of smoke skyward. As it reaches high enough, the cold upper air causes the rising smoke to form pyrocumulus and pyrocumulonimbus clouds. #Wx

To process the chaos, I'm spending a few minutes each night stitching a news diary--embroidering tiny icons representing an important story of the day.

July was a bit of a whirlwind, and not just because of the pyrocumulonimbus clouds.

There are some apocalyptic photos coming out of Victoria right now.

All good wishes to anyone affected by these fires. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...

The fire burning in north-east Victoria near Walwa was so fierce it generated its own weather this afternoon, including a substantial pyrocumulonimbus cloud with lightning and thunder www.abc.net.au/news/2026-01...
