These don't happen often enough where I live so thought I'd share it here. Anyone else seeing lightning right now?

How often do they happen? I mean, they don't happen here quite often. Curious if they are just more rare there than usual.
Here's the image with the key for anyone interested :)
Seems like we're getting less and less thunder days every year here in the UK. See here.
In Scotland they're less common than in the south. Probably less than 10 thunderstorms a year. (This explains it well)
The graphic below from the website shows the number of thunder days across the UK.
I don't know about you but I'd say less than 10 thunder days a year is quite rare.
The good news is that there are some more forecast for tomorrow :D
