= Sting jet
{wiki=Sting_jet}
A Sting Jet is a meteorological phenomenon associated with certain types of storms, particularly extratropical cyclones. It refers to a narrow, fast-moving area of strong winds that descends from a cloud base to the surface, typically occurring within heavy rain, thunderstorms, or severe weather systems. Sting Jets are most commonly identified in the context of the "sting jet" mechanism associated with the development of intense low-pressure systems.
