Summer Thunderstorm Over Tucson, Arizona

Description: The dying light of sunset illuminates the top of a cumulonimbus storm cloud, while a lightning bolt strikes somewhere amongst the city lights of Tucson, Arizona, in this time exposure photograph. The Arizona desert experiences many intense thunderstorms, with powerful gust fronts, heavy rain, hail and lightning, during the summer months. The storms are caused by moist air from the Pacific Baja or the Gulf of Mexico mixing with hot, dry air rising up from the heated desert floor.
