      I am not sure I understand the question, maybe you can say it in a different way?

      If you mean lightning of thunderstorm, that can happen in any month, although some countries, such as the tropics are much more prone to them during particular times called the monsoon season.

      If you mean when does it start getting lighter again, i.e. days start getting longer, then it is the 21st December, when the night is longest and the day is shortest.

      As Blanka said, in the UK there is not really a storm season ( sadly) although as they are more likely on warm, humid days we are probably most likely to get them here in summer and autumn.

      I know a lot of places over the last few days have been having thunderstorms – have you had any?
