You've put the cart before the horse. Lightning is caused by air masses of differing temperatures sliding up against each other. Usually a cool dry air mass moving up on warm, moist air mass. This causes the air to be electrically charged. When the charge becomes great enough, the charge looks to dissipate, or equalize, by means of the path of least resistance, towards the ground. Thunder is merely the air coming back together after the bolt has separated it. Lightning has no effect on the seasons.
