We Have All Seen Rainbows,

and lightning,

 but seldom together, until now, above a stunning display in Hednesford, Staffordshire, photographed by Crazz1993, but why did these two meteorological phenomena appear together? The BBC explains:

Firstly, there was a lot of energy within the atmosphere so when the thunderstorms developed there was plenty of electrical charge which produced a lot of lightning. The storms were also quite localised so there were sunny spells between the showers. And lastly, the timing was spot on. As the sun was setting, the angle of the sun was just right with the thunderstorm to form rainbows.
