Rain Bombs -
nova

An invisible, unpredictable atmospheric force is wreaking havoc across the globe - sinking superyachts, flattening forests, and bringing down airliners. Follow scientists as they race to understand these catastrophic weather events, exploring how they form, what causes their devastating impacts, and how we might someday learn to predict them. From high-tech simulations and drone expeditions into thunderclouds to possible links with climate change, join investigators on the cutting edge of research to discover what's truly behind these terrifying 'rain bombs' and how we can protect ourselves from their growing power.
