Why is it that there are no Electric Storms during the morning?

Question

I live at Mexico City

I live in Mexico City...

Answer 1

Electrical storms can occur in the morning but are less common. In Mexico most thunderstorms are caused by convection and hence the storm build up in the late afternoon. By morning the temperture has cooled of too much for thunderstorm formation. In parts of the world where thunderstorms are cause by the arrival of a cold front thunderstorms can oocur at ony time of the day or night. it just depends of what time of day the cold front arrives.

Answer 2

I once lived in a city that is now called Harare. It is nearly 5000 feet above sea level and just inside the tropics. We often got thunderstorms at around 5 pm. The reason was that cumulonimbus clouds, thunder clouds, are produced by convection currents in the air. When the sun rises in the morning the ground starts to heat up, the bottom layer of air near the ground warms up and the cumulus clouds start to form. They get higher and higher during the day and by late afternoon they're developed enough for thunderstorms. Mexico City is a bit like Harare; high above sea level, a long way from the sea and about the same distance from the Equator.

Answer 3

I live in Southern California. Our electrical storms come from huge storms that come in from the Pacific. When the storm hits, we have lightning, regardless of the time. It will rain for hours. This past spring, we had a storm where it rained pretty much for three days straight.

In the midwest, storms are more likely in the afternoon, because the heat from the sun raises moisture from the Earth during the day. This moisture condenses into clouds. The cloud rains, and it dissipates. The rained moisture evaporates in the sun, and the process begins again. At night it cools, and the evaporation process starts.

Midwest storms tend to be smaller and shorter and more violent, while ours are enormous, and last longer, and tend to have less lightning and thunder.

Answer 4

There are also electrical storms in the morning but you can not see most of them because the it is bright as compared during the night.

Answer 5

There are plenty of elect rial storms in the mid western states of morning time

Answer 6

I think you will observe a correlation between atmospheric condensation and electrical charge. Steam is a wonderful electrostatic generator.
