Why do thunderstorms form so often in Florida?

Florida has a subtropical to tropical climate. This provides plenty of warm moist air to fuel thunderstorms. The geography of the area contributes as well. Sea breezes from the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean often converge over the Florida Peninsula during they day, sometime converging with lake breezes from Lake Okeechobee as well. This convergence forces air to rise, If the air is unstable enough it will lead to thunderstorms.


Why do strong storms form over the center of Florida?

Florida is positioned between the Gulf of Mexico and the Gulf Stream in the Atlantic. Both bring warm sea breezes onto the Florida Peninsula. These alone can trigger thunderstorms, but when they converge over central Florida, the warm, moist air can only go up, triggering large thunderstorms.
