On average, I gather, thunder is heard on three days a year in
these parts. Yesterday afternoon, 26 August, was one of those.
Moderately spectacular, with plenty of lightning forks to be
seen, and mercifully not too protracted, as we were intending to
fly gliders.

Disappointed to note that the lightning strikes we saw were not
being recorded on http://www.ukstorms.com/ - this must call into
question the accuracy of the data. Presumably it becomes less
accurate the further away one if from the antenna.
