Recorded at 03:20 hours on wednesday july 1st 2009 in Crosby, north of Liverpool, united kingdom. This recording is of the first part of a thunderstorm that was quite distant, but quite loud. When it began the thunder claps were few and far between. But by the time it went away it had developed into a moderate thunderstorm with more frequent Thunder. This recording begins after the rain starts and the storm is at it's closest. There are some very loud thunderclaps and the lightning sferics is heard on a mistuned radio as a short crackling sound as the lightning flashes.Then the rain calms and the storm recedes.Recorded with the Olympus DS50 digital recorder and a Panasonic Binaural Headset Microphone placed on the outside windowsill of my bedroom window. edited with Wavepad sound editor and equalized in goldwave.

Hi, I wanted to let you know that I used this thunderstorm in one of my songs (I used just a really small piece, but it's there:)

Excellent recording Chris. Would love to hear this with emphasized sounds of raindrops hitting the windowsill.

As you say, the thunder sounds are infrequent. But
I enjoy the rain very much. The rain sounds very
natural, realistic. It does not sound processed,
although you specify how you did process the
sounds in the sample. You apparently wanted to
increase the volume, but not the loudness as much.
At 5 minutes 30 seconds into the recording is the
best thunder boomer.
