Thunder days

 


Thunder-days are an old measure of storm activity - The modern measure is lightning flash density.

The first map I used in the 1980's was hand drawn and black and white and old. It also showed Darwin with the highest activity with over 80 thunder days and Brisbane with slightly less.

The modern map shows Brisbane is not nearly as bad as for lightning as previously thought.
