Scattered Thundershowers

A really good build up looked very promising for a good thunderstorm this afternoon. When the lightning action began however, there was mostly could to cloud lightning above us which was not visible above the cloud cover. You could hear the crackling and rumbling right overhead, which was a bit concerning at one stage. You never know when you’re going to have a ground strike from above you in conditions like that it could be any moment. This thunderstorm was a bit frustrating, as we did not get much rain out of it. The storm moved in from the north and then quickly moved east of Windhoek, towards the International Airport and headed out towards the small town of Gobabis.
So unfortunately we did not get a spectacular thunderstorm as expected. Well I suppose a bit of rain is better than no rain at all… even if it’s only 2 mm! These were the only lightning pictures I managed to get for the day. Better than nothing!
