Heat lightning is actually a weather phenomenon and not a form of lightning. It refers to the distant flashes of lightning that can be seen on the horizon during a hot summer night, without the accompanying thunder because the storm is too far away. The irony lies in the term "heat lightning" as it has no actual connection to heat, but rather to the distant lightning strikes.
