Lake Ontario sunsets are the best

If a lightning strike is a sufficient distance from the observer, sound from the strike will not be heard. Some people refer to this as heat lightning. Lightning bolts produce thunder, but the thunder sound does not travel all the way to the observer if the observer is too far away.
The term "heat" in heat lighting has little to do with temperature. Since heat lightning is most likely to be seen in association with thunderstorms in the warm season, the term "heat" may have been used because these flashes are often seen when surface temperatures are warm. Actually their is no such thing as "heat lightning" and anyone who uses this term deserves to be laughed at histerically.
