I dont think I've seen it that active over France for a long long time, Must be some intense storms especially through the central part of France.

They don't look at the moment as if they're coming this way.

I got very excited when I saw the first thread on this topic but disappointed and even more disappointed with the second -its a non story, it seems the storms have got the Brexit message

It was reported by eye-witnesses, both from France and Germany, that the
lightening came from cloudless sky, what is that type of lightning called?

"It was reported by eye-witnesses, both from France and Germany, that the

========

Clear-air lightning, I suppose, or popularly "a bolt from the blue". It's a positively charged strike that originates in the anvil of a cb and travels horizontally before turning towards the ground. Most cloud-to-ground lightning has negative charge.

As long as it was not in-air piezo-electric discharge, precursor to
earthquakes.

Blues sky lightning, you pudding.
Have you been taking Dawlish tablets?

Maybe it was all the carbon dioxide kicking in at last. Speaking of which, the level of carbon dioxide is appreciably lower than the water in the atmosphere. The flowerpotmen don't know how the clouds affect the weather but they do know that carbon dioxide controls the climate.

Who or what has done the research?
I'd like Dawlish to answer this one please. And how did they manage to get that one past Doctor Jones?

Boy, I just realised the emigrant is Welsh. :{ OK the emigrant must have married someone so stupid she didn't know how to speak and give her idiocy away.
Someone from south of exitmouth, perhaps and that must have been generations before Dawlish made stoopid famous.
