Welcome to the fifth in the series of Challenges.
Between October 1962 and May 1970, The Beatles released 24 singles, 13 EPs, 13 Albums, with a total of 293 tracks.
WEATHER IN LYRICS CHALLENGE
Below is an alphabetical list of weather-related words which appear in officially released Beatles songs.
The Challenge is to find which word appears in which song, or songs.
Hints/clues:
Some words appear in more than one song. In these cases, the number of songs in which the word appears is shown in [x].
Some songs contain more than one of the words on the list. In these cases, you need to find each word and post each answer in a separate post.
Note: you are not looking for other weather-related words which may be in the lyrics of Beatles` songs but those in the list. Should you find any of the words in songs not on my list, as in the previous Challenges, I will re-check my sources and give my verdict with an explanation as to my decision
No "live" recording; BBC sessions; Polydor records; bootlegs; unreleased tracks.
Rules:
Please, no googling, wiki, social media, iplayer, youtube, personal record collection [e.g. album sleeves] in search of the answers.
You may submit one answer for one word in one song per post - not two or more songs where the same word appears - and can only post one answer per day.
This Challenge will open at 11pm tonight [Sunday 28 April] when the first answers can be submitted up to 11pm tomorrow [Monday], when the first results will be announced.
On each subsequent day/night, answers can be submitted after midnight until 11pm.
The list of weather-related words is given in the next post.
Good luck.

That seems the fairest way to conclude the challenge @Mi-Amigo
I have PM'd you with my answer. (As requested, giving one song of the three left.)

WEATHER IN LYRICS CHALLENGE - THE RESULTS AND WINNERS.
I have gone through the whole thread, taken pm`d answers into account, to make the final decision.
I have taken into account the following:
- Number of correct answers
- Finding an answer not on my list
- Replacement answer - as posted answer had previously been given.
The results are as follows:
@Glory1- 15 correct answers [including finding one answer not on my list]; one replacement answer.
@Cleoriff- 15 correct answers [inc finding one answer not on my list]; one replacement answer.
@Bambino- 15 correct answers [inc finding the most difficult answer]
@MI5- 15 correct answers [no answer not on my list]; two replacement answers.
@jonsie- 14 correct answers [one wrong answer]; one replacement answer.
Therefore, I am pleased to announce
JOINT WINNERS of the WEATHER IN LYRICS CHALLENGE are @Glory1 and @Cleoriff
3rd place = @Bambino
4th place = @MI5
5th place = @jonsie
Special mention must be made for @Bambino finding what I considered was the most difficult answer
"lighning" in the song The Ballad Of John And Yoko
As said at the beginning of this Challenge, the player who was "fastest finger first" the most times would also receive an "award" and the winner of that is @Cleoriff
Thank you, each and everyone of you, for making this Challenge entertaining, fun and, at the end, a little competitive. I hope you have all enjoyed taking part as much as I have running it.
Details about the next Challenge - Colours in Lyrics - will be posted on this thread later today.
Please post on here, whether or not you will be taking part. It will, like this Weather In Lyrics one, be a mix of easy and more difficult answers.

Congrats to everyone including @Bambino who found the most difficult answer. Well done.
Looking forward to the next one.
PS special thanks to @Mi-Amigo for spending hours putting these challenges together
Yes indeed, special thanks to @Mi-Amigo for taking the time to put these fun Challenges together. I appreciate the hard work that goes into setting them all up, and my apologies for not thanking you @Mi-Amigo in my previous post. It's the shock of being joint winner with @Cleoriff

Thank you @Glory1 and @Cleoriff for your kind comments.
I admit I get considerable pleasure out of putting these Challenges together, not least to listen again to the music and suddenly spot a word which I use in a Challenge. That said, there have been, and no doubt will be in future Challenges, songs in which I have missed one of the words, but the positive view of that is there is always something new to find every time any of us listens to a Beatles song.
The COLOURS IN LYRICS CHALLENGE
I made a few minor changes to the original planned list of words to be found in the new Challenge - Colours In Lyrics - with a mix of easier to find and more difficult answers, which should add to the fun and, possibly, more of the "that was going to be my next answer" posts and banter between all of the regular members who play.
The new Challenge will be posted on a new, separate thread - Colours in Lyrics Challenge - later today, with a list of answers to be found.
The Challenge will not open until 11pm tomorrow [Monday] when the first answer can be submitted up to 11pm on Tuesday, when the results will be announced. Members will then be able to give their next answer after midnight and up to 11pm on Wednesday.
If anyone has any questions about this new Challenge please post on here and I will reply.
Thank you.

True...though as it's an hour to the start of F1 I am getting very very jittery and feeling a bit old for all this stress
Now, now @Cleoriff keep calm, all will be well and Lewis will win. That's my sincere hope anyway GO LEWIS
