When an electrical spark passes through air, it turns some of the oxygen into ozone. Lightning is a big electrical spark. So it is the lightning in the thunderstorm that creates the ozone. Some Swimming Pools in the United States use ozone instead of chlorine to kill the bacteria. Likewise some municipal water systems in Europe use ozone instead of chlorine to kill bacteria. They use sparks to turn the oxygen in air into ozone.
