Saturday started with thunder and lightning - 44,000 flashes of lightning - and lots of rain.

 

There was 3 times with thunder of lightning. Later rain showers without thunder.

OOOH YEA, COOL!:cool: Who counted then all?

44,000 lightning discharges, at an average of 780,000 volts each and 9800 Amps, for a duration of .001 seconds each, how many watt-hours of energy is that?

I'm too tired for that - you tell me. :P

2.75X10^16th Watt-hours, but that's probably a high figure. Hotter then the surface of the sun for a brief flash of time, probably giving off all sorts of radiation!

Probably the duration is less, the voltage and amperage is on average much less - that's an extreme I think..

Anyhow, cool to experience!

:cool: Lots of UV and Beyond

hoping for a dry one today

Nothing but rain

Mainly cloudy (but I can see some blue sky inbetween) and some rain showers. More rainshowers forecast for this afternoon - more heavy ones and maybe accompanied by thunder and lightning.

It's raining.

It's hot as hell! And it's the end of August! Just think that these days our beautiful sea (I'm from Southern Italy) seems dirty, greenish and oily since seaweed has abnormally grown because of the hot hot weather!

The rain came down heavy overnight, but the daytime has been an average autumn day, max of around 16C, cloudly at times with a chilly breeze.

It was sunny until a couple of hours ago, now it's cloudy and very cold.

I feel kind of bad saying that our weather was gorgeous today... because the reason it was gorgeous is that Irene was keeping the stuff from west from coming toward us.

Sunny and with a small breeze
