Once again a lot of thunderstorms around up country on Saturday but what
do we get here on Dartmoor - just heavy rain and no thunder. I hadn't
realised how very rare thunder is down here until moving here. It is
quite amazing really.

Don't have to go 'up country' for thunderstorms.

Yesterday's thunderstorms have notched up the 'thunder days' this summer
to 8 days.

In amongst that lot were two spectacular night time storms at end of June.
