Wild Weather - Heat: Kana Takematsu

Wild Weather - Heat traces the arrival of summer, from extremes of heat in the desert to a perfect summer in the temperate climates of the North. Visit the jungles of Belize, where the sun's energy is most intense and where the weather is both wet and hot. Finally, we explore what it is like to be struck by lightning.

This stunning high-definition movie will serve as the springboard for a lively discussion about the science behind the beauty and wonder of nature.

Kana Takematsu, a graduate student in chemistry at Caltech, will introduce the film and guide the post-screening discussion.
