--August is the last month of meteorological summer in the Northern Hemisphere. --August lightning over the U.S. occurs in both large and small systems, clusters, and lines across all of the country. --Storms in the northern U.S. and Canada typically move eastward quickly. --Central America, Cuba, Florida, the Gulf of Mexico, and Mexico have very frequent daily lightning during all of the month. --The Southwest Monsoon is very active from northwest Mexico northward to the western U.S. states. --Northern Canada, but not Alaska often has strokes in August. --The east-west aligned equatorial trough, the Intertropical Convergence Zone, is weakly defined over the eastern North Pacific away from Central America. ~Ron Holle
