The Hector Cloud
The Northern Territory of Australia is home to a truly bizarre and awe-inspiring phenomenon that takes place every year between September and March, captivating both locals and visitors alike. Each day, right around 3:00 in the afternoon, a massive thundercloud forms near the Tiwi Islands, and this mysterious cloud has earned a legendary reputation. Locals have affectionately named it Hector, or more colloquially, "Hector the Convector." While it may seem like just another thunderstorm at first glance, Hector has earned a unique place in both meteorological study and the culture of the region.
