Thunderstorm rain is good for the garden! Lightning heats the air to 30,000°C and generates enough energy for nitrogen and oxygen in the air to combine, forming nitrogen oxides. These nitrogen oxides can dissolve in rainwater and form nitrates, which help plants to grow ⚡💦➡️🌿

Some folks in #Wales are saying #StormFranklin is worse than #StormEunice . No two storms are quite the same. The chart for today is different to last Friday. Strong to severe gale force winds are affecting most of the country today & lasting for longer combined with heavy rain.
