Why would lightening be so unusual so far north?
Do you know how many lightning strikes take place per day... And how few of them produce fires?
80% of lightning is cloud to cloud
Lightning is associated with thunderstorms, and thunderstorms are caused by moist air being heated, causing it to rise and form the clouds that build into thunderstorms. That's why thunderstorms are so common in the tropics.
Yes, but there is definitely a trend of a combination of heat and humidity as you go south. Why is that such an unusual thing to consider?
