There is thunder in Ireland, it’s just rarer than in much of the US. I’d imagine it’s due to the prevailing weather patterns.

I'm from Georgia where summer thunderstorms are extremely common and we had ones that were so explosive that candles would vibrate off the fireplace mantle. I moved to SoCal and i'm always amused when a small storm comes by once a year and people freak out.

I miss those storms man. Nothing like sitting on the porch and watching them roll through

Now hear this: we have almost no mosquitoes. Sometimes I joke I killed one and drove them back into extinction.

I grew up in São Paulo, Brazil. The thunderstorms there are GLORIOUS!
