This collection of weather clips is from new contributor WeatherVideoHD. Their ultra-high speed motion clips shows how lightning bolts form, as well as capturing some rare and never-before-filmed types of lightning in the high atmosphere. Closer to Earth and at the other end of the scale, their timelapse footage reveals the large-scale patterns that drive cloud formation and weather events, and shows how chance alignments of clouds, winds and sun can produce some dazzling optical effects.
