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.
