12th June 2023 was a very warm day, a threat of thunderstorms and then between 5.30 and 6 pm, the clouds exploded over Greater Manchester giving a magnificent thunderstorm. One of the best of recent times for the area. Timelapse captures the clouds exploding upwards

It was a cracker. Didn't see much lightning up my end, but there was a lot of booming thunder and torrential rain from it. Time-lapse of the same day between Bolton and Chorley:
