Hey, I live in southern California. I have plan to take vacation to travel anywhere that I want to see every day thunderstorms during summertime. I love to see afternoon, evening, and nighttime thunderstorms. I more love to see dusk sunset thunderstorms than any time! Although I don't see every day thunderstorms in around U.S. city. I know Florida is most thunderstorms during summertime. Last year, in Summer I went to Orlando, Florida and I have spent to stay in Kissimmee, FL near World Disney for three weeks although I don't see every day thunderstorms but seldom but I saw very wet rain. I felt to want see every day thunderstorms. Ok, help me you know where has every day thunderstorms give me city/state. If you give me city/state for best summer thunderstorms, I will plan to travel and verify your answer. Possible give you 10 pts. Although I believe in any U.S. city not every day summer thunderstorms.

Your best bet is to travel the Gulf coast. Don't stick with one city. (good chance to site see). Typically in the summer storms will blow up along the sea breeze and travel inland. You don't have to be right on the coast but 20 30 miles near it is your best chance. Like now on the coast of Texas and Louisiana because of that Low pressure system spinning in the North Central Texas, its drawing up huge amounts of moisture from the Gulf bring in Thunderstorms and very heavy rain for the last few days. Your best chance is to a central staging area and keep an eye on the weather, when you see patters of thunderstorms make your move. Its kinda like what the storm chasers do in the central plains during early spring.

Anywhere in tornado alley is a good bet, but if you actually want something to do and see other than thunderstorms, try Houston, Texas.
I was born and raised in Houston and as a teen, I was a lifeguard. You could set your watch by the thunderstorms . . . everyday at 3 p.m. it would start thundering, lightening and raining. Not to say it happened every single day, but it did happen with some continuity.
If you pull up weather.com and plug in any Houston zip code (77095, 77005 etc.) and check the 10 day forecast, we have a chance of thunderstorms every day, between 30% and 70%. Houston is also a good town to visit, tons of places to eat, great art, great festivals, unique things to see, great bars, Kehma waterfront, etc.
Some thunderstorms are mediocr at best (lots of rain, some thunder), others are spectacular. The coolest thing to see is an electrical storm in the distance, watching the lightening crawl across the sky. As a matter of fact, we had a thunderstorm this morning!
Happy Travels!

The way you write, I thought you lived in Khazakstan. I hear their summers are very stormy. Perhaps you should go there.
