just 2018. thought Massachusetts got a lot of storm last year. We're just not good at getting lots of lightning
Looks like a relatively down year for Indiana.
Here's a color-coded one:
Thanks, I was in the yellow band of western Massachusetts for most of last summer. Looks like that was as high as a lot of the Midwest. And my storms were concentrated in late summer / early autumn, so for a short time it felt like lightning was very frequent.
I’m currently watching yet another thunderstorm that has no cloud-to-ground lightning at all, and this map doesn’t make sense to me. How could we possibly have a lower ratio than Florida? In fact, cloud-to-cloud is so dominant here that I made a thread about it:
typical hottest heat index of the year. Downstate and most of New England is in the 100-105°F. Dews just below 60°F are considered "neutral"; lower humidity results is a cooler heat index than an actual; higher humidity, higher heat index than actual. 100°F with a dew point of 60°F is a heat index of about 101°F; dew of 70°F, 108°F

Nice map. We are both in a region with bad ratios I guess. Still seems like where I live is far more lightning prone than to my east.
Seems like Pittsburgh can get some epic lightning from what I’ve seen on YouTube. But like I said, this map doesn’t match my experience at all. Intracloud lightning is pretty, but it can’t match the adrenaline of ground strikes. CG is not the norm here and I don’t know why they’re saying it is.
These were pretty interesting. From the 1931-1960 period. I haven't seen such detailed climate maps for iceland before.
It would be interesting to see how much the climate has changed since then.
