Bavaria

Sometimes there are storm colors and moods that you can only explain as “wow”.

An ingenious crawler action on the back of the powerful thunderstorm cell west of Munich.

Incredible atmosphere over the Chiemsee.

Awesome lightning strikes over the Chiemsee.

It was very impressive. An unstable air mass with excellent shear and sufficient moisture was able to form this supercell.

Powerful cell south of Munich with nice structure, which was producing some great CGs and crawlers at this time.

Mesocyclone structure on an HP supercell west of Bad Tölz, as it was moving east close to the mountains. At this point the supercell reached its peak intensity with lots of close lightning strikes

Such an amazing experience after waiting for more than two hours in the Bavarian landscape. This storm managed to form these insane structures in only 15 minutes.

After becoming outflow-dominant, the HP supercell quickly changed into a severe line of storms, giving us still some good structure.

Ahead of a cluster of storms a powerful supercell developed in the Oberammergau area in the early afternoon.

The Bavarian edge of the Alps did its magic again.

A beautiful wall cloud came over the mountains of the Bavarian Alps with frequent lightning all around it.

An intense hail core rushed to my position near Rosenheim together with some close-up lightning strikes.
