Is that what we call "experimental technologies"
The lightning example I gave above (in OZ) probably has more to do with the warm air mass coming over the desert towards us, would be a lot less riskier to the boatie in the ocean (unless he's in a marina or very close inshore).

well that is really big in the global warming debate and means may wil have to go back to the drawing boards and start again.

I don't see what the fuss is all about, I've been to the South Australian outback where it gets to 50c & the houses are built into the ground
Also, what's wrong with a few more storms (blows), its just a bit of extra wind for the sails - isn't it?
Anyway, have really enjoyed reading your's & Wotname's posts in this thread
Edit: steve's post below just reminded me of a flight I took over here once from wgtn. In the tasman (but on the oz side), there was quite a large & very active lightning storm that we had to go around.
