Why doesn t snow thunder and lightning in winter?

Thunder also strikes in winter. It's just very rare.

Thunder and lightning usually occur in severe convective weather. For example, the tropical rainforest climate zone, the convective rain that often occurs in the summer afternoon in China, and the typhoon rain that often occurs on the east coast of the low-latitude continent are often accompanied by thunder and lightning.

There are two conditions for the current to flow through the air, one is that the clouds accumulate a large amount of charge, and the other is that the discharge path is smooth and the snow does not thunder I think there are 2 reasons 1 is that the snow is mostly in winter, and the cloud generates charge mainly because of the updraft and its friction, there are few updrafts in winter, so the charge accumulation is not much 2 is that the air humidity in winter is not as large as in summer, and the moist air is easy to conduct electricity, so the clouds in winter are not easy to discharge.

The most thunderstormed place in the world is Bogor (tropical rainforest climate) on the Indonesian island of Java, where there are an average of about 322 thunderstorm days per year, and is known as the "thunder capital of the world".

Severe convective weather requires a warm and moist airflow to rise rapidly. In summer, it is easy for the ground to warm up quickly, so severe convective weather – thundershowers – often occurs.

In winter, there is less chance of severe convective weather, but sometimes strong cold air moves southward, which can also cause warm and moist air near the surface to rise rapidly in some areas. At this time, the temperature of the ground is secondary, and the temperature difference between the ground and the high altitude is very large.

The air near the ground rises rapidly, and on the one hand, the temperature drops sharply, and it is easy to form clouds and cause rain, often causing snowstorms, etc., and on the other hand, it is normal for the rapidly rising air to rub violently, accompanied by thunder and lightning. Winter thunderstorms are rare in China, but they are common in winter in Toronto, Canada.

To appear thunder, there must be the formation of a large cloud first, due to the strong internal convection and the continuous collision of cloud particles, often with a large charge, when the charge accumulates to a certain extent, a large amount of discharge, this is lightning, generally between the cloud and the ground, sometimes also between the cloud block, when the cloud body with a large number of negative charge, it will make the ground object with a large number of positive induced charge. In the air of the cloud and the ground, there are scattered positive charge cells that are repelled from some ground objects due to the positive charge on the ground, the negative charge on the cloud explores the way downward, and extends to the surrounding small charge area along the road, when it is close to the strong positive charge gathering place on the ground, a large number of positive charges will be sucked up and begin to discharge, then there will be a dazzling flash of dendrizzle on the whole flash path, and then the electric heat will increase violently after the flash, and the rumbling thunder caused by the sudden expansion of the air. But the convection of cold air in winter is not actually very strong, so even if there is thunder, it will be very, very small thunder, so small that it can only be heard when you stand next to thunder, and besides, the nature of matter will be different from normal when the temperature is low, so this is why thunder cannot be felt in winter.

Upstairs is really knowledgeable, I can only tell you simply: thunder is the collision and friction between clouds. Generally speaking, as long as there are clouds, thunder can occur, but the decibels are very small. I guess that's the same with snow.

It is important to know that there are specific conditions for lightning and thunder to occur, and it is clear that the air is not easy to form convection when it snows in winter, resulting in snow in winter but not lightning and thunder.

Mainly because the weather is hotter in summer and there is plenty of moisture, which makes thunderstorms more likely, while in winter the weather is drier and convection is not easy to form in the air, so thunder is rare.

Because the weather is hot and there is plenty of moisture in summer, thunderstorms are more likely.

The main reason is that the warm and humid air was strong before, and when the cold air came down, it produced strong convective weather, which caused thunder and lightning activity. To put it simply, it was too hot a few days ago, and suddenly cold air came, forming a strong convection, and snow and thunder are extremely unlikely things in meteorological history.

There is a folk proverb that "thunder strikes snow in winter", and thunder in winter is a harbinger of heavy snowfall.

Snow Attention:1. First of all, on snowy days, it is necessary to pay attention to prevent falls, especially for the elderly, due to the decrease in bone density, after falling, it is easy to fracture, and after fractures, healing is slow. On snowy days, due to the slippery outdoor roads, try to choose indoor sports and avoid outdoor activities.

2. On snowy days, we should pay attention to keeping warm, because on snowy days, the temperature is low, and people's resistance to diseases will decrease. Especially young people who like fashion and beauty, while being beautiful, they must not freeze people. On snowy days, try to wear thicker clothes and eat more calorie-producing foods to help protect against the cold.

1. Lightning and thunder are common weather phenomena in summer, while snow is generally in winter, which are two completely different weather phenomena. However, as long as the weather in a certain place is suitable for both snow and thunder, these two completely different weather phenomena can occur at the same time.

2. In winter, when the sky is overcast and the temperature in the clouds is below freezing, the water vapor in the clouds condenses into snow. When snowflakes fall from clouds, if the air temperature near the surface layer is high, the snowflakes will melt into raindrops. Conversely, if the temperature near the ground level is low and the snowflakes cannot melt, then it will snow.

3. Thunderstorms are caused by strong convection of warm and humid air in local places, and the sharp rise of warm air produces violent vibrations of cumulonimbus clouds, which will accumulate a large amount of electric charge and produce lightning phenomenon.

1. Thunder on a snowy day indicates that the particles will not be harvested, and people will freeze to death, which is a great omen;

2. [Folk saying] As the saying goes, "thunder strikes snow, people eat iron", "thunder strikes winter, ten cattle pens and nine empty", so thunder on a snowy day is a bad omen, which belongs to extreme weather, which will not only affect the harvest of the next year, but also thunder in winter, the warm and humid air is very active, the cold air is also very strong, the weather is cold, there is a lot of ice and snow, and even the cattle may be frozen to death. This strange natural phenomenon indicates that the coming year will be a year with no good harvest, or even no harvest, and people will have no food to eat.
