    The Diurnal Variation of Thunderstorm Activity in the United States

    Abstract: Starting times of thunderstorms for 450 stations in the conterminuos United States for a 25-year period were analyzed using harmonic analysis techniques. Diurnal variations were expressed as both the time of maximum storm occurrence and the concentration of activity around this time. Distinct seasonal and spatial variations in diurnal activity occur. Analysis of these variations indicates that the country can be divided into nine thunderstorm regions. In the central states the majority of storms occur at night, but storms are frequent at any time. In both the east and the west there is a marked concentration of storms in the afternoon. In the west and northeast winter storms are rare, while along the Pacific Coast summer thunder is uncommon.
