A sting jet is a meteorological phenomenon that forms as a part of some rapidly developing mid-latitude storms.

The 'sting' part of the name refers to the scorpion's tail like shape that the clouds around a sting jet take on.

The sting jet contains the most damaging winds, which can reach speeds of more than 100 mph.

The most famous example of a sting jet formed during the Great Storm of 1987, which brought gusts of 115 mph to parts of Britain - and was responsible for knocking down an estimated 15 million trees.
