The middle part of the thunderstorm that I recorded recently in the city courtyard. Here I had to move from the middle of the courtyard and hide under a large and spacious stone porch with stairs, which is built into a multi-storey residential building. I had to do this to keep from getting wet and because several lightning bolts struck too close. This position on the porch turned out to be very comfortable and did not block out the sounds of rain and thunder and did not introduce other artifacts due to its shape and configuration. The recording begins with dry rumblings and wind in the background. There are sounds of hurrying passersby and voices. Then the rain slowly enters and its force increases slowly, almost to the very end of this recording. Sometimes you can hear individual waves of rain passing, one after the other. The rain was very "wet" here, as there was a spacious parking area in front of me. And all this is accompanied by constant thunderclaps and rumblings. I hope you enjoy it.
