Average number of days of thunderstorms in Germany?

Question

What's the average number of days of thunderstorms in Germany during each month of summer?

Answer 1

Actual thunderstorms?  Very seldom.  Maybe 1-2 every summer.

If you're asking about rain, that's a whole different answer.  But I'll answer that question with a question:  Have you ever wondered why Germany is so green?

Answer 2

It also depends on the area you live. I live near Frankfurt, in the middle, and I can't remember more than three last summer. Plenty of months are without any. In April when the weather changes and in summer, that's when you may expect them.

Usually, I'm very surprized when a thunderstorm starts, as it's unexpected.

Answer 3

Germany as a whole? If you count a few

minor bangs at least one every day and

if you're in the "right" spot and it's a bad

season you can have one nearly every

day where you are. If you just count the

ones that make your car turn into a low-

rider maybe a hand full during the season.

As Poppy said. The location is very important.

There're areas with hardly any and areas with

a "daily dose".

Answer 4

I live in Dortmund and last summer I didn't count them but there were a h**l of a lot, and really loud and a bit scary to be honest

Answer 5

I have no idea - however, you might want to check out http://www.blids.de/ - the german lightning information service from Siemens which gives you an overview on all lightnings across GB, Germany, Switzerland and Poland.

Answer 6

there's no telling with Germany's weather. LOL but last year there was a few near Bamberg.
