Abstract

The analysis of temporal-spatial variations of daily lightning strike number over territory with borders of 40-80 N, 60- 180 E was made using the World wide lightning location network data. As expected, daily lightning strike number increases to middle of summer (July) and decreases to August. Lightning strike number redistributes inside the considered territory between two areas with high lightning activity during all years of observation and during season. Center of high lightning activity area shifts northward by 2 degrees on average during summer season.
