French wildfires trigger dangerous fire clouds capable of generating lightning
Wildfires in France are now generating pyrocumulonimbus clouds, which are fire-driven storm clouds that produce their own wind patterns and lightning, potentially igniting new flames. These clouds, which seldom produce rainfall, are formed by the extreme heat released during massive wildfires or volcanic events. A representative for the National Firefighters Federation of France noted that this specific fire phenomenon is entirely new to the country.
