About this emoji

⛈️ Cloud with Lightning and Rain is an emoji in the Travel & Places group, sky & weather subgroup, first released in Emoji 0.7 (2014). Emoji 0.7 is the label Unicode gives to characters that became emoji with Unicode 7.0 in 2014, before emoji had version numbers of their own.

CLDR, the Unicode project that supplies emoji names in many languages, gives it the English keywords cloud, lightning, rain, thunder and thunderstorm; that is what emoji keyboards match when you search.

It is the character ⛈ (U+26C8 THUNDER CLOUD AND RAIN) followed by the variation selector U+FE0F, which asks for the colourful emoji style. Without the selector, many systems show a plain text symbol instead.
