Hi,
I have been looking at the U.S. density map for past years, and noticed that the Florida panhandle has a very low density of lightning strikes.
The gulf coast from Houston to west Florida, however, has some pretty high densities.
The station coverage looks better in the Florida peninsula than most of the area between Houston and west Florida.
So why does the Florida panhandle look so quiet 2015-2016? Surely the panhandle has the highest actual lightning density on average, right?
