    Fire Clouds: How Large Fires Create Thunderstorms

    Large-scale fires can create pyrocumulus-nimbostratus clouds, also known as fire thunderstorms or 'fire clouds'. These clouds form due to intense heat from fires, causing vertical movement of hot air and water vapor, leading to condensation and electrical discharges. The resulting lightning can cause new fire spots, making fires more difficult to control. These phenomena have been observed in recent fires in France and previously in Portugal. The climate crisis contributes to the spread of these fires.
