Ooh, this is interesting! I wonder what other kinds of weather this world has? I also wonder if storm chasing is something people do there?

The weather in this world is quite unstable and is characterized by frequent storms, storms, and thunderstorms. This happens due to the rapid change of seasons of the year. It can be difficult to predict.

Perhaps they are chasing storms there. But they have to be completely crazy.

Oooh, I like this idea. Maybe their atmosphere could have an inert gas concentration with a higher thermal conductivity, or great sea heat repositories that could readily transport polar air near the equator where meteorologic events would be at their most intense. A weaker magnetic field could also allow more ionization in the upper atmosphere, which with temperature differential, could readily transport ions into the troposphere and similarly induce an intensely stronger voltage potential difference for more extravagant thunderstorms (atmospheric conditions, ie. higher water content and aerosol concentrations, could also allow for much more efficient voltage differences to form with the updrafts and interactions of ice crystals too, which would be neat).

Regardless, this is a beautiful piece! Love getting to see something very dynamic from you.

I have an idea that the transfer of heat through the sea is disrupted on the planet, which is the case with large continents in the northern hemisphere. Because of this, the air temperature gradient with changes in latitude is greater. At the same time, the atmosphere can still move in order to level out this difference. The planet also has an active star, which produces very powerful flares for some time, although this is short relative to its entire activity cycle, but this may affect the potential difference. In addition, the atmosphere is heavily polluted with aerosols due to volcanic activity and desert areas.

In any case, we still need to think. Thanks for the ideas!

These are really good! The volcanic activity is a great touch.
Side note, assuming a very active flare cycle, it's entirely feasible that orbiting ion clouds from vaporized interplanetary debris could induce a very strong magnetic field, greater so than what one could hope for with the Dynamo effect (this possibly happens with Saturn!). Further, with that great a temperature gradient, the upper atmosphere could be much denser than what we have here on Earth, allowing for a greater deal more turbulent mixing of suspended ash and soot. Combining those two things together could give some truly awesome storms, in the classical sense of the word.

Interestingly, the storm activity will still change significantly over time, since the star here has a very powerful activity cycle. Because of it, the luminosity of this fluctuates by 2-4% (for comparison, the sun has only 0.1%). Hence the influence on the climate - a cyclical change in temperature - and on the magnetosphere - a change in tension. The result is that the dark period is characterized by very powerful storms, and the cold period is characterized by calm.

Oh, I like where this is going. The kind of variability and volatility you're describing is fairly indicative of young stars too, so that totally works!

Probably should leave this here for now, but if you're ever up to building worlds with theory, I'd love to chat on Discord. Regardless, I still can't get over the creativity you put into seeing these places, nor the obvious love for the processes that would make them.

The situation with the star is generally interesting. In absolute age, she is older than the Sun, she is 6.6 billion years old, but evolutionarily she is younger than him, due to her smaller size. The estimated lifespan of this star is about 25 billion years with a mass of 75% solar. Therefore, now she has lived only a quarter of her life. Moreover, this system is actually made up of two stars, the second is a red dwarf orbiting in an elliptical orbit. But it does not directly affect the planets, because it is located at a distance on average of more than 1 billion kilometers, and the planets themselves are within a narrow distance, the distance to the farthest one is no more than 200 million km. But it influences the main star, increasing its activity.


And Discord looks like good idea

very cool composition

Thank you!

love the immense sense of scale!
that mountain really catches the eyes! o.o
