You can estimate the distance of the thunderstorm by counting the time between the lightning and the thunder. Sound travels approximately 300 meters per second. You'll see the lightning soon. So, if you count the time between the lightning and the thunder, multiply the seconds by 300 to get the distance of the thunderstorm in meters.

Wenn man durch 3 dividiert und die Entfernung in km angibt ist man meist genauer.

Yes. The speed of sound is more accurate.

Du meinst Entfernung: Blitz – Sekunden zaehlen bis Donner und durch drei Teilen = etwa Entfernung in km.

The time difference between a flash of lightning and the sound of thunder can be used to roughly estimate the distance of the lightning. Since sound travels slower than light, the distance to the lightning can be estimated by measuring the time difference between the flash of lightning and the sound of thunder and dividing it by the speed of sound (approximately 343 meters per second). This gives a rough estimate of the distance.

So you count the seconds between lightning and thunder and multiply this number by 340m, and you have your result

300 meters per second. That's roughly the speed of sound. Count the seconds until the thunder arrives, and you have a distance.

I guess if you see lightning, you should hear thunder, otherwise you should go to the ear doctor
