Spectacular scenes as a lightning storm moves out to sea

A spectacular display of lightning near Sydney’s Bondi Beach has been captured in a series of stunning images.

The dazzling light show was shot on Thursday night by Daniel Shaw who is a dedicated storm enthusiast. 

Bolts can be seen striking down from the cloudy night skies and creating an amazing demonstration.

Mr Shaw, who has been chasing storms since the age of 11, told Daily Mail Australia the standout event was amazing, but not the best he has seen. 

‘As storms moved across Sydney and out to sea hundreds if not thousands of cloud-to-ground lightning strikes came down over the sea, lighting up the Sydney sky.’

He said the weather was ideal for the impressive showcase. 

‘Forecast conditions were perfect for the show to occur as the storm slowly moved north east.’

Each year Mr. Shaw tracks the world’s most violent weather, and whilst he said last night’s show was entertaining it is dwarfed by what happens in the US.

Weatherzone predicts Friday’s forecast to include showers during the afternoon and early evening.

There are chances of another thunderstorm in the outer west late afternoon and evening.
