Technical reason

Why does this region (Sirsi, Siddapur, Yellapur, Honavar belt) get fewer thunderstorms, despite high heat and humidity during the day? Areas like Sagara, Jog Falls, or Belagavi with similar conditions get more frequent thunderstorm activity. What are the meteorological reasons?

@TUSHAR-Naik Unfortunately, I’m not familiar with the specific characteristics of your region, but I suspect the terrain might be a contributing factor.
For a thunderstorm to form, the atmosphere typically needs to exhibit unstable temperature stratification and high humidity—which your area likely has. However, one crucial element is still missing: a triggering mechanism. This could be a weather front, atmospheric convergence, or mountainous terrain, all of which can initiate the upward motion of air. This rising air then develops into an updraft, which is essential for the formation of a thunderstorm. To predict a storm is thus not very simple. Have a nice day, Niki
