Severe Thunderstorm: 14​:​04 hrs. 16 August 2020

from Severe Thunderstorms & Torrential Rain by SonicFields

about

This recording captures the first of a band of three severe thunderstorms which passed directly over the rural Breckland village of Saham Hills, Norfolk in the UK on 16 August 2020 starting at 14:04 hrs.

A special storm-proof enclosure was used, effectively placing the listener outside and exposed to the full elements of the storm and torrential rain.

There is no layering, looping, or use of sampled or synthetic sounds; this is a real-time recording enabling the full effects of the natural environment and storm to be experienced.

Being natural soundscapes, these include what some may consider as man-made 'noise', so don't be concerned if you hear passing vehicles, voices, aircraft overflights, farming activities, church bells, bird-scarers, shotguns, and strange things which go 'bump' in the night; those sounds are what you would have heard, had you been there at the time of the recording.
