Lightning and thunder, mixed with torrential rains, are a natural phenomenon formed by vertical convection of the atmosphere under strong Cumulonimbus clouds. Low latitudes are frequent places for thunderstorms, such as Indonesia in Asia, central Africa, southern Mexico in North America, Panama, and central Brazil in South America.
The most thunderstorms in the world are in bogor, Indonesia, where lightning flashes and rumbles 322 days a year, sometimes several thunderstorms a day, and more than 1,400 a year. Therefore, Bogor City is also known as the "Thunderstorm Capital of the World".
Bogor City thunderstorms
Bogor City is located near the equator, next to volcanic lava and a number of volcanoes up to 2 to 3,000 meters high. The heat convection of the atmosphere is very strong, and the humid hot air mass blowing here from the Java Sea rises sharply due to the terrain, and it is easy to form Cumulonimbus clouds. Bogor weather changes very regularly. The weather is generally sunny in the morning. At noon, cumulonimbus clouds in the sky are getting thicker and thicker. In the afternoon, the cumulonimbus clouds are like mountains and seas, and in an instant, thunder and lightning are added, and the rainstorm pours down. After the rain, the air was particularly fresh, and soon the whole city was bathed in the equatorial sun, and the thin clothes of the pedestrians who were wet were quickly dried.
In the Bahia Lecques region of southern Chile, there are also many rainy days, with 325 out of 365 days a year! So the question is – why is it raining so much a year here?
Bahia
It turned out that it was under the control of the westerly wind belt in the southern hemisphere, and the strong westerly wind brought a large amount of water vapor from the Pacific Ocean almost every day, strengthening the elongation of the terrain, and the water vapor rose into the sky, condensed into raindrops, and landed on the ground, making it the place with the most rainy days in the world.
Among them, Haikou City has 118 days a year
The Bund in Haikou City
Dan County, Hainan (now Danzhou City, Hainan) had 124 days
Danzhou City
Jinghong, Yunnan has 122 days
Shwedagon Pagoda Temple, Hongjing City, Yunnan
Yunnan Mengla has 128 days
Mengla, Yunnan
Then Mengla in Yunnan deserves to be the "capital of thunderstorms" in China.
