sheet lightning

sheet lightning (usually uncountable, plural sheet lightnings)

In most very warm days in summer the thermometer stands above 70 degrees on the scale of Fahrenheit, about the centre of the county; in the summer of 1811, it stood repeatedly above 80°; and on the 25th of May, 1807, during the time when the sheet lightning of tropical regions appeared, about three in the afternoon, it stood at 92° in the shade within three miles of Moffat!

1812, General view of the agriculture, state of property, and improvements in the county of Dumfries:

It probably belongs to the class we are accustomed to call sheet lightnings, for these are by far the most frequent in an ordinary storm.

1859 October 7, “Marvels of Thunder-Storms”, in The Eclectic Magazine of Foreign Literature, Science, and Art, page 216:

The occurrence of sheet lightning in a particular district did not necessarily involve that a thunderstorm was experienced there, for it frequently happened that the storm was a long way off.

K'iche' diviners believe that they have a kind of soul in their blood in the form of sheet lightning.

In the small hours of a blustery October morning in a south Devon coastal town that seemed to have been deserted by its inhabitants, Magnus Pym got out of his elderly country taxicab and, having paid the driver and waited till he had left, struck out across the church square.

The drizzle became blustery rain as she approached Curracloe.
