Someone commented the other day on a similar thread that Lightning is stronger/more dangerous in the winter months? Cannot seemcto find it now, and to see if anyone responded to that comment other than me......
If its lost forever, can anyone confirm/deny the info on Lightning being stronger/more dangerous in the winter months than at other times of the year??
Cheers

Meanwhile we are moving into a very interesting 24 hours or so with a lot of energy and steep temperature profiles which look likely to lead to a threat of some violent storms tomorrow. There are warnings from ESTOFEX and elsewhere on FB currently.
Just noticed some intense rain reaching Cornwall which has had some sferics recently
