| Summary: | Abstract A sequence of infrared and water vapour images from Meteosat are used in this short article to display some of the features associated with the development of a North Atlantic cyclone. Lightning reports are shown in conjunction with the imagery to reveal a connection between the formation of thunderstorms and a region of dry air seen in the water vapour pictures. These thunderstorms break out on the leading edge of this dry air near the low centre and along the forward edge of the associated trailing cold front. |
