The effects of a Thunderstorm on the environment.

"Our mother is angry, and wishes to burn away the filth by raining destructive power on our treetops."

— Emote Town Dryad.gif The Dryad

The Thunderstorm is an uncommon event that occurs when wind speed reaches 20 mph and rain level is at 50%. It will continue until either the wind speed drops to 16 mph or the Rain level drops to 40%. It is essentially a combination of the Rain and Windy Day events.

Thunderstorms will retain all of the same effects as the Rain event, including all Rain enemies and initiating Blizzards in the Snow biome. However, no enemies or special items from Windy Days will be present.

Occasionally, lightning will strike, creating a flash of light on the screen, which is then followed by thunder. Wind picks up significantly when Thunderstorms are happening, causing leaves to fall at exceeding rates.
