If the center of the storm is directly over you, the thunder and lightning occur simultaneously - and startlingly loudly. But most of the time, we see the lightning well before we hear the thunder because you see things instantaneously, due to the speed of light. But you hear things much more slowly. It takes five seconds for sound to travel a mile. Hence, if you see lightning, then hear the thunder ten seconds later, the center of the storm is two miles away.
Lightning appears before thunder during the rainy season because light travels faster than sound. When lightning strikes, it produces light that reaches our eyes almost instantly, while the sound of thunder takes longer to reach us due to the slower speed of sound traveling through the air.
