rsherdley published Is Nottingham going to get a freak lightning storm?

Lightning strikes in several European countries injured children and adults this weekend...but will the freak storms be coming here?The answer is, no, but we will be hit by bouts of torrential rain, a mixture of grey skies and clouds over the next few days. Britain's forecast is far brighter than the rest of Europe. In southern Poland one man was killed after he was hit by lightning as he descended a mountain.Lightning also caused havoc in Paris on Saturday afternoon. Eight children were struck.
