The sunset on the first day of summer certainly lived up to its San Diego standards and made way for a spectacular lightning show Tuesday night.

The wild weather was thanks to monsoonal moisture that was expected to linger through Thursday, so more wild weather could be ahead.

In case you missed it, see photos of the wild weather in these photos sent in by our viewers.
