Where? Why? What was your question? Weremakes no sense.

Where do they happen? Everywhere on earth, except maybe near the polar regions due to lack of moisture.

Why do they happen? Clouds loaded with moisture begin forming strong updrafts. The updrafts lift moisture until it condenses and precipitates out. The precipitation falls through the updraft, producing high voltage static electricity somewhat like a Van De Graft generator. When the voltage becomes high enough, the air conducts forming lightning.

Thunderstorms can occur anywhere where the atmospheric conditions are right to produce a Thunderstorm. However, they are more likely to occur in areas of high temperature and high humidity. A dewpoint rising to 60 or above means a Thunderstorm or bad weather could happen. A high dewpoint means humans would feel the sticky, humid air.
