Which locations in the world receive the most thunderstorms?

Question

Supercells are a bonus. Thank you.

Answer 1

The most number of thunderstorms occur in the tropics, or the zone either side of the equator from about 23.5 degrees north latitude to 23.5 degrees south latitude.
As far as the most powerful storms are concerned, the ones with the greatest rainfall tend to be in the tropics, because of so much moisture available. However, thunderstorms that cause severe weather, including damaging winds, hail, and even tornadoes, are generally in the middle latitudes. The middle portions of North America, i.e., the Plains states of the U.S., have the greatest number of tornadoes than any other place in the world.

Answer 2

Thunderstorms occur throughout the world but are most common in tropical areas. In rainforests, they occur almost daily. . Kampala and Tororo in Uganda have each been mentioned as the most thunderous places on Earth. This accolade which has also been bestowed upon Bogor on Java, Indonesia. Florida is the location in the US most likely to have thunderstorms but they are also common in other parts of the southern states and the Plains States.

Answer 3

I'd say the midwest in North America because it is the only place that tornados occur on the planet called the 3rd rock from the sun.

Answer 4

I believe it is Albuquerque, New Mexico. I was surprised to see that it was int he American Southwest. Their amount of precipitation is low, but the ratio of lightning to rain is very high. The article I saw was in Popular Science magazine; you may be able to find it.
