There you get thunderstorms all year round. It's a result of weather patterns, air flow from the Atlantic and enhancement by mountainous areas.
More Quotes from Hugh Christian:
Over land we see tremendous diurnal changes, a strong peak in lightning in the afternoon over land. Over water we see very little variation. We believe it's due to the land absorbing heat and causing strong convection. On the other hand, water can store a lot more heat, and release it slowly.Hugh Christian
