this time of year. once it reaches this mountainous region, it actually cools, condecembers, the air, forms the thunder storms and remember thunder storms in order to initiate, we have to have some sort of updraft. some sort of uplift whether it be mountains, warm air rising, that s what creates that turbulent affect in the upper levels of the atmosphere for airplanes. pilots want to try to avoid thunder storms at all costs. sometimes it s just simply impossible to do. here is the satellite loop once again. you can see just how active that region has been and unfortunately, as we start to focus on what could potentially be a recovery effort going forward, we have more monsoonal thunder showers in the forecast across this region. the ocean will be very turbulent at this time if there are any boats heading toward that particular location. choppy waves. additional rainfall.
