Thunderstorms

If I remember rightly, lightning is negatively charged, as are the clouds that bring the storms, the UK has a predominantly negative outlook, so the two mostly repel each other, however, with recent sporting success, we are feeling quite positive, and thus, the storms are coming..

Most lightning is negatively charged. You do get positive lightning also and that's the stuff that does the real damage. From what i recall, planes are only protected from negatively charged lightning
 
Do love a good old Thunderstorm, as long as it doesn't harm anyone/anything.

We should be in store for a goodun after all this high pressure.

I love the way they make you feel so small and how much bigger nature is than us. Reminds us that there are higher forces/ powers working above us, call it what you will!

Hopefully we get a good one. More for the thunder and lightning, and less for the rain.

& I still get annoyed when you have insurance companies calling weather "An act of God." God must be a right ****.

Looks like we are in for a treat most of us the next few days.

Love a good thunderstorm and we need some rain so bad! Its been scorching today :cool:
 
Can see some dark and nasty looking clouds moving in from the south, at canary wharf in my office at the moment. Meant to be getting some rain and whatnot tomo but i wouldnt be surprised if we get none...
 
When I lived in London we got one or two during summer but I hadn't seen anything till I moved to Aus. They have some crackers here. Here's a couple of shots of some that I managed to get:

Great pictures! Do you mind if I take the first one for a wallpaper for my comp? :D

Looking forward to a good thunderstorm it has been a very long time since we had a decent one, Although I don't want the hot weather to end!
