If the sky turns green, pay attention.
The green sky phenomenon is one of the most striking and least understood weather signals. It tends to appear before severe thunderstorms, large hail events, and — in some cases — tornadoes.
The leading explanation involves light physics. Late afternoon sunlight, which carries red and orange wavelengths, encounters water-laden storm clouds that scatter blue light. The combination of these wavelengths can produce a sickly green hue in the sky.
Meteorologists are careful to note that green sky doesn’t guarantee a tornado — and that many tornadoes arrive under perfectly ordinary-looking skies.
But when the light goes green and the air goes quiet, experience says: get inside. Don’t stand there and look at it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the sky sometimes turn green before a storm?
The green sky phenomenon is thought to result from the interaction of late afternoon sunlight — which is rich in red and orange wavelengths — with storm clouds containing high water content that scatter blue light. The combination of these wavelengths can create a greenish cast in the sky. Green skies are associated with severe thunderstorms and sometimes with large hail or tornadoes, though the correlation is not absolute. Not all green skies precede tornadoes, and not all tornadoes are preceded by green skies.
What makes a good narrator for weather science documentaries?
Weather science narration requires a voice that can balance technical meteorological information with a sense of genuine atmospheric tension. The narrator needs to be accurate and grounded, but capable of conveying the feeling of a sky that is about to do something remarkable. It’s a genre that rewards understatement — letting the science create the drama.
How do I hire a documentary narrator for a weather or meteorology series?
The best approach is to listen to a narrator’s demo in the genre you’re working in — not just their general reel. Marc Scott offers custom auditions so you can hear your actual script before committing.
