I love walking in them or sitting in the garden when they are on their way. You can sometimes smell the ozone in the air, like struck matches, just before it hits.

Oh that is sooo cool.
They are magical and I’m not surprised why so many different cultures use rain dances as part of a ritual.
I find it very cool interesting.

Re: Rain and now Thunder
I have been trying to fit in 3 or 4 days backpacking all this week, and my rucsac has been more or less packed since Saturday 15th, but I've been postponing it each day or two as a result of seeing the weather forecast.Frustratingly, the weather has been fairly reasonable; yes, rain on a couple of mornings, and a bit breezy, but nothing desperate, and mostly reasonable sunshine.
But yesterday there was heavy, prolonged rain, and the forecast for the weekend is for more rain & storms
I woke up early today and the rain was blowing against the bedroom window, so I've postponed things again
I have some of the best backpacking gear available, and >40 years experience, but I will be going on my own, which would be a bit miserable so I'll try again on Monday when things are supposed to improve
However, i was determined to have something useful to show for my time, so I have mucked out and painted my two downstairs cupboards; it's amazing the stuff you just chuck in there, because you can.
Most of it is being thrown out

I love thunder storms too , I love it when the thunder rumbles through my body and then the flash of lightening is like static electricity shooting through . And I stand out in it too , then run like hell to hide

It got a bit wild here last night!The winds weren't too bad, gusting at about 40mph, but it was the rain that was the problem. I took the dog out for a wee at about 11.20pm and because of the wind the rain was horizontal and despite wearing a coat I got soaked, just being outside for 10 minutes. It went straight through me coat and I was soaked to the skin.
All quiet here now (only "damage" was a blown over pot with a Laurel in it) but it looks like the wind will increase again between 11am and 4pm so I'd better get on with the gardening!
