I have lived in San Diego county for almost 8 years now. In those 8 years, there has probably been a total of 5 thunderstorms. We get plenty of rain storms, but lightning is VERY rare. I always assumed it had something to do with being so close to the ocean, and the storm needing to pass over land to build up the electricity for lightning or something like that.
In any case... I am intrigued because since this past Sunday there have been 3 lightning/thunder storms. 3 in 5 days after only 5 in 8 years?!?!
Can anybody explain why the change?? I love lightning, I am completely fascinated by it and always missed it when I moved from Colorado to California as a teenager... but I am just curious why there is a sudden frequency of lightning.
