Cloud with lightning Emoji

Travel

A dark, heavy cloud with a sharp, jagged bolt of yellow lightning striking downward. It captures the sudden, energetic discharge of electricity during a severe thunderstorm.

Usage Context

Used to signal bad weather, a literal storm outside, or a metaphorical state of turmoil. It is frequently employed to express anger, sudden shock, or intense energy, and pairs well with ⛈ to show rainfall or ⚡ to emphasize the electricity itself.

History

This icon was added to the Unicode standard in 2010 as part of a major effort to bring weather-related symbols into mobile messaging, drawing inspiration from early weather-reporting icons used in Japanese digital forecasts and emergency broadcast systems.
