View east over Sheffield. The leading edge of a band of thundery showers approaches Brown Edge Quarry near Ringinglow, coming up from the south. Five minutes later the storm was upon us, with very heavy rain and several claps of thunder.

I was on Stanage Edge supervising some students engaged in fieldwork. We watched these approaching dark rolls of cloud with some trepidation, wondering whether to run for cover from the exposed edge and risk of lightning strikes, to seek shelter among the tumbled boulders below the edge. However, the storm was already waning at this point and all we got was a couple of minutes of heavy rain and cold gusty winds, soon to be replaced by bright sunshine again.

Rud Hill is high up above Ringinglow and the west side of Sheffield, on the margin of the Eastern Edges moorland in the Peak District National Park. This is a view to the north-west with an isolated, short, sharp, shower rattling in on the westerly breeze.

It gives you all a chance to sing. All together now: "Somewhere under the rainbow..."
