There are almost no thunderstorms in south Florida from November
through May. We call it the dry season here for good reason.



Yeah, but Florida makes up for it in spades between June and
September....bigtime!

Indeed, there is a reason that one of the world's most prestigious
lightning research facilities is located there! The institution I work
for was thinking of renting some time there to research lightning and
it's effects on various airport grounding schemes, but being Canadian,
we didn't like the idea of summer in Florida....
