[:ja]リッキー・アーノルド宇宙飛行士がISSから撮影したインド南部とスリランカ上空の積乱雲です。
積乱雲は、強い上昇気流によって積雲から成長して塔あるいは山のように立ち上り、雲頂が時には成層圏下部にも達することがあるような、巨大な雲のことです。積乱雲の鉛直方向の大きさは雲の種類の中でも最大であり、雲底から雲頂までの高さは1万メートルを超えることもあります。
地上の豪雨の様子はこちらです。

[Earthview Wonders] No.626: Thunderstorm Over India and Sri Lanka🇮🇳🇱🇰
Astronaut Ricky Arnold captured from ISS the towering afternoon thunderstorms over India and Sri Lanka.
Cumulonimbus is a dense, towering vertical cloud, forming from water vapor carried by powerful upward air currents. If observed during a storm, these clouds may be referred to as thunderheads. Cumulonimbus can form alone, in clusters, or along cold front squall lines. These clouds are capable of producing lightning and other dangerous severe weather, such as tornadoes.
The local scenery on the ground of thunderstorm pouring is as follows.
