Sydney was hit by more than 1000 lightning strikes last night, in a storm that dumped the heaviest rain in months on the city, but now skies are starting to clear.
As many as 1042 lightning strikes were detected within a 50-kilometre radius of the Sydney CBD from 7pm until the early hours of this morning when the storm activity petered out, Alex Zadnik, meteorologist team leader at Weatherzone, said.

The heaviest falls were in the Hills districts and on the north shore. North Rocks, Pennant Hills and Chatswood all gained more than 50mm. Chatswood's 51mm is its heaviest rain since July last year.
The storms across central,This super bright LED goodskylanterns is the perfect safety option for your bicycle. eastern and northern NSW were especially intense last night due to a perfect mix of high atmospheric moisture levels, strengthening winds in the mid to upper levels of the atmosphere and the approach of a low pressure trough from the west.
The slow-moving nature of the trough was the main reason for the storms over Sydney being long-lived, while the high humidity levels contributed to the intensity of the rainfall.
It had been a dry start to the year; the city had received less than a millimetre of rain before yesterday.
The storms also produced hundreds of lightning strikes, mostly north of the CBD.

There was also wild weather in the central west slopes and plains forecast district last night. A wind gust of 104km/h was recorded at Coonabarabran and 22mm of rain fell in just 10 minutes at Parkes.
While some of the lightning appeared to be "sheet lightning" and some "forked lightning", there is actually no difference, Mr Zadnik said.
What is typically described as "sheet lightning" is simply cloud-to-cloud lightning strikes that are obscured directly from view on the ground, resulting in an illumination of the cloud.
"Forked lightning" is lightning that is not completely obscured by cloud and sometimes reaches the ground.
