In the current issue of "Weather" (monthly mag of the R. Meteorological Socy) there is an article "A Lightning Climatology for Europe and the UK, 1990-99" (a non-believer in the EU there!) It has charts showing the frequency of thunder/lightning for the whole of Europe and detailed maps for the UK for the four seasons. In the summer it's max over the Alps and Pyrenees (more than 10 days/month); in the winter Western Greece. In the UK in the Spring there is a peak just south of Scarbro (watch out, Big Kev!) at 4 days/month, in the summer it is joined by another peak over East Anglia both more than 5 days/month. UK winter hardly anything except along the Channel.
Thought you'd like to know!
