• Gentle night rain with a hint of seagulls and thunder (improved version)

  28 June 2012
  

  Taken in the small hours, when I was hoping for a real storm to come over, which actually didn't happen, though something quite spectacular was passing by in the distance, and I was miffed not to get that one. For a fair while the sky to the south-east was dimly alight with almost continuous very distant lightning, and that storm system caused some havoc in various more northern parts of England the following day. This still makes a quite delightful bit of peaceful ambiance, with that teasing slight menace of the very distant and much of the time hardly audible mumblings of thunder. — 20'

• Gentle-sounding dawn rain with thunder and some quiet birds

  28 September 2013
  

  This is peaceful despite the thunder, which is all leisurely and non-threatening. The rain sound itself is subdued from this viewpoint, and accompanied by much trickling sound from run-off water in drainpipes — a very pleasantly watery soundscape. — 48'

• June night thunderstorm, rain and dawn blackbirds

  7 June 2014

  A genteel storm, complete from first murmurs to final distant grumbles, and nothing startling, and, yes, complete with dawn blackbirds! — 68'

• September early morning thunderstorm with robins singing

  19 September 2014

  Pre-dawn to dawn, complete storm with long approach. A few not-very-close earth strikes. Robins sing at times, but mostly before the main rain arrives. — 57'
