It is said that Thunder in February is followed by thunder on the same date in May. Another superstition says that if it thunders in February, it will snow in May. The number of times it thunders in January tells the number of frosts April will have. If it thunders in December, there will be especially cold weather.
Thunder is the sharp or rumbling sound that accompanies lightning. It is caused by the intense heating and expansion of the air along the lightning channel. The rumble of thunder is caused by the noise arriving from parts of the channel at different distances. For this reason, thunder also lasts longer than the flash, and because sound speed is relatively low (see the next question).
