I got awakened last night, about 3AMish. It must have been a clap of thunder that did it. The lightning was quite strong, and I would time after each flash by counting the seconds, the claps of thunder were fairly consistently 4 – 8 seconds away. It went on for maybe half an hour to 40 minutes before fading away.
I couldn’t get back to sleep afterwards until nearly 6AM that is I didn’t go for a walk, to be honest, I just felt so tired.
When I got up I went and checked the rain gauge, 20mm overnight, that’s quite a heavy downpour.
Apart form the general dampness, it turned into quite a reasonable day.
