1. Thunderstorms are most common in the afternoon over land, when daytime heating of the land by the sun causes the lower part of the troposphere to become unstable from higher temperatures and more water vapor in the air. Thunderstorms build up over the sea by picking up the water and then with the movement of the hot and cold fronts, but it isn't until they hit land that they actually turn into thunderstorms.
