This article is a Thunderstorms are an uncommon event that sometimes occurs in place of Rain. Occasionally, lightning will strike, lighting up the player's screen on surface. This is accompanied by thunder, during or after the flash. Even though it appears to be windy, kites act as if there is no wind present. Lightning bolts cannot strike the player, even if it has a kite or an umbrella equipped.
NPCs have special dialog during thunderstorms.
