Impressionante!
Na verdade o raio não atingiu o avião, é uma ilusão criada pela ponta da asa a passar em contra-luz no momento mais brilhante da descarga. Tudo o resto que se vê na asa são reflexos. Note-se que havendo registo de som, o ruído estável dos jactos, se um raio tivesse atingido a asa o estampido seria praticamente simultâneo (menos de 0,1 segundos depois) e teria ficado registado também.
Também não há nada que indique que o passageiro estava ou tenha ficado aterrorizado, nada se ouve e como se vê a filmagem é perfeitamente calma e impassível, nem deu qualquer salto com a câmara, como de resto muito possivelmente teria acontecido se a descarga tivesse atingido efectivamente o avião.

efectivamente não atinge o avião, mas não são incidentes raros

A estação de Roseworthy, a 56 km a norte de Adelaide e que não me parece que tenha sido atingida diretamente, experienciou uma queda de 5º na temperatura em 5 minutos (01:00 - 01:05). A temperatura aparente caiu mais de 7º (16.8 para 9.2 ):

Sydney pode voltar a ter mais nuvens 'apocalíticas' (que como escrevi anteriormente não são tão raras):

Severe thunderstorms and a tornado hit Sydney on Wednesday, with more to come in the afternoon.

"There is obvious evidence that we have had a tornado go through Cronulla today," said Alan Sharp, a meteorologist at the Bureau of Meteorology.

"There were gusts of 213km/h recorded at Cronulla and it was obvious from our radar that there was a tornado in that area.

Adelaide has recorded its hottest ever run of December days, with the mercury hitting 40 degrees Celsius on Saturday.

The Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) confirmed that Adelaide was sweltering through its fourth consecutive day over 40C, making it the city's longest December heatwave since records began.

"We have a high pressure system over the Tasman Sea that's not really moving anywhere, we've got anti-clockwise winds around that high pressure system and very hot and dry northerly winds bringing very hot air from inland Australia's towards Adelaide," Anolak told The Huffington Post Australia.

It is the second outbreak of extreme weather in Adelaide this month and December 7 was Adelaide's hottest December night ever, with a minimum of 30.3C.

Verão extremamente quente também na Nova Zelândia (ilha do sul):

Strong, hot winds will make for a scorcher down south.

Blenheim is expected to reach a record-breaking 35 degrees Celsius.

Christchurch is also heading for one of its hottest December days on record with temperatures tipped to reach 33C.

But the howling 100kmh Northwest wind may sabotage any outdoor plans.

The hottest temperature recorded in Christchurch for December was 35.4C in 1975, followed by 33.5C in 1994, according to MetService. Christchurch's hottest ever day was 40C in February 1973,

For Monday, MetService has forecast a high of 33C at Christchurch Airport, which could rank as the second or third hottest December day for the city.

MetService meteorologist Tom Adams said the conditions were due to a warm air mass moving from northern Australia.

Manhã sufocante

Sydney has sweated through its hottest December night in 15 years, but a cool change - and a good drenching - is on its way.

The mercury was still sitting at 29 degrees at 10pm on Sunday in the city, before dropping briefly to a low of 22.6 degrees just after 3am.

Weatherzone meteorologist Ben McBurney said the dip in the temperature was short-lived, with the mercury rising again to 27 degrees by 4.30am, making it an uncomfortable night for sleeping.
