Thunderstorms in Tropical Climates
Why is it that some places in tropical climates, such as Hilo, Hawaii, receive plenty of rain (120 inches, or around 3,000mm), receive few thunderstorms (only 5-10 per year), whereas other places that receive somewhat less rainfall (but still plenty, around 100 inches) like Singapore receive many more thunderstorm days per year, and also Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, which experiences about 112 inches of rain annually and about 240 days of thunderstorms per year. So, my point is that some tropical climates receive plenty of rainfall, but few thunderstorms, whereas other locations in the tropics receive plenty of rainfall and thunderstorms as well. What accounts for this difference in the frequency of thunderstorms in tropical climates? 🤔
