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.

Does lightning strike land or water more?

Lightning strikes land more frequently than water. While about 71% of the Earth's surface is covered by water, only about 5% of lightning strikes occur over oceans. This is primarily because thunderstorms, which produce lightning, are more likely to develop over land due to the presence of heat and rising air. However, when lightning does strike water, it can be dangerous, as the electrical current can spread out over the surface.
