Does the UK have thunderstorms?
It may have Hurricanes but actually, Scotland might have more hurricanes than us. Countries near the Atlantic Ocean have hurricanes. It is more accurate, to say, however that the UK gets the remnants of hurricanes as such systems rarely, if ever, still retain tropical characteristics by the time they get that far north, though they may still pack hurricane force winds.
