Where in the world does lightning occur most often?

Lightning occurs most often in the tropical regions of the world, particularly near the equator. This is because these areas have the necessary conditions for thunderstorms to form, which are essential for lightning to occur. Regions like Central Africa, the Amazon Rainforest, and Southeast Asia experience some of the highest frequency of lightning strikes.

Why does thunder usually appear during storms that have lightning?

Thunder is the sound produced by the rapid expansion of air surrounding a lightning bolt due to the intense heat. This expansion creates a shock wave that we hear as thunder. So, thunder is typically associated with storms that have lightning because the two phenomena occur simultaneously.


Where are lightning storms mostly found?

Lightning storms are mostly found in regions with warm, moist air interacting with cooler air masses, such as in tropical and subtropical areas. These conditions promote the formation of thunderstorms and the occurrence of lightning strikes. Additionally, lightning storms can also occur in mountainous regions and areas with rapid temperature changes.
