I always believed that the official definition of a "thunder day" was any day where it was heard, however distant and infrequent.

If you're talking only of close storms thats a different question altogether!

Typical!  Simon starts talking about overhead storms and everyone picks on me 

I only posted cos I was bored

I dont hear thunder from one year to the next but I cant say I am bothered, its not like snow that transforms the landscape and the flash flooding that comes with thunderstorms are a pain in the neck.

Anyway, most British storms are boring, if you want to see real thunderstorms go to Corfu in October and they will blow your socks off!

Belgium looks like the best place to be atm

Still in the club as  without...

Opted out now due to some rumbling thunder just heard...

Not had any thunder here this year but unlike the permacast it doesn't really bother me since we rarely get any thunderstorms and never have done - just the odd rumble or two.

Did experience torrential thundery downpours at Perth Races earlier this month and was not amused. Just about the last thing I wanted spoiling the day.

The only decent storm here in recent years was in August 2010 when I was on holiday in a thundery part of France and got nothing. I think before that it was summer 2004.

I heard one rumble of thunder last month but to all intents and purposes, I'm still in.  Nearly 10 years to the day since the epic all nighter which took place here in the early hours of 19 August 2004. 

I'm in cos there is imo a lack of God moving the furniture about...

Only had one distant rumble of thunder here all summer, on Thursday afternoon this week from a heavy shower/storm that was centred well to my east. Not that I'm a fan of thunder mind you!

Reading recent thunder reports just emphasises yet another poor year for thunder around here.

First loud rumble of thunder wasn't until July and been nothing since early August.

I would of joined the club having had not a sausage from 2008 till Sunday. Since then we've had storms almost every day. Tell a lie we had that thunderstorm i think jan 2010 when the cold spell came to an end. As the front came over it snowed heavily then hailed then rained with claps of thunder throughout. Brilliant event.

One rumble of thunder since early August and that has been it.

I would have to say that for my area we have had more storms this year than any I can remember.

No thunder at all this year thus far. So just one rumble since early August.

Nothing here since last July either ...
