of interest to you, compete the columns for each andReasonPlanMy iPhone app has been doing a really bad job on predicting thunderstorms so I want to investigate a storm and collect dataOnce the storm starts I will monitor the rainfall by observation checked the temperature and noted the length of the storm
d be prepared to discuss your process and findingsData/ObservationsConclusion/New LearningThe storm started at 1:15 with little rain over the next 40 minutes rain increased to a downpour for almost 20 minutes, lightning moved though the area (monitored by thunder) temperature dropped almost 15 degrees. Storm ended at 2:00 but could still hear thunder in the distance.Thunderstorms move very rapidly and can cover a relatively small area, sun and blue sky could be seen in the distance even during the heaviest rain. Temperature change seems to be a factor.
