Mid Devon has a yellow thunderstorm warning with zero precipitation expected. How does that work?

Thunderstorms without rain aren’t uncommon

But they were only sweet little lies.....

But The Prodigy did say ‘I hear thunder but there’s no rain’

Literally called "dry thunderstorms"

Predictably they cause a lot of wildfires

A wise woman once told me that thunder only happens when it’s raining though.

Hello Mid Devon residents.

It’s great to finally have you on the internet!

You can search for advice using a website called Google.

You cannot take down those flying metal birds in the sky by chucking spears at them.

Also, please consider dating some of the people from the next village instead of your cousins. They’re not as bad as you think they are.

If you can have dry ice I don't see why you can't also have dry lightning

You can have black ice too, does this mean we can have black lightning?

We definitely have White Lightning. I used to buy it from the Spar and drink it in the park with my mates after school on a Friday.

Sounds familiar. It went well with THUNDERbirds

White Lighting! Just thinking about it sends a shiver down my spine, it was terrible, but it did the trick.

You could buy Black Lightning from Vincent between 1948 and 1952.

Clouds in sky with thunder but no rain. We had that yesterday in Bath, for about 30 mins then it was raining sideways for 10 mins.

Bristol we had thunder for half an hour and absolutely no rain at all. Bloody tease.

[-]

Johnlenham@reddit

Oh interesting. We are 20mins from Bath and we had thunder but no rain atall. Disappointed

I had to drive up to Yate for work and set off as it started. Got to Hicksgate roundabout and it was bone dry. It was very localised

Same in the Midlands, although we got the rain for close to an hour afterwards.

Husband chose the wrong time to walk the dog in shorts and a t-shirt; came back looking like he'd been through a car wash.

Electrical storms aren't that uncommon

FireFingers1992@reddit

Can confirm, had thunder off the Devon coast this afternoon for sure, but no rain.

Used to see it all the time in Pakistan, Huge dark clouds with lightning striking inside the clouds. It happened over here during the lockdowns too. I remember enjoying watching the clouds flashing in the sky.

When life brings you thunderstorms, make scones!

The location of isolated thunderstorms can be very hard to forecast accurately, so they can predict a wide area that might get them but not the specific area. So wide area gets the warning without the local forecast being impacted

Thanks

It happens a lot.
We had it last night and lunch time today.

Massive thunder that shook the windows but not a single drop of rain

Brace yourself for science.

There'll be a storm, but it won't be wet.

You're welcome.
