Earlier observations by Williams et al. (1991), McCaul et al. (2002), Wiens et al. (2005), and Schultz et al. (2009) show that very high flash rates (more than 60 fpm) and lightning jumps are always found to be associated with severe and big convective systems.
It is to be noted here that our hypothesis that conversion of moisture in the valley during nighttime leads to thunderstorms with high flash rates and lesser number of active phases needs to taken with caution as this is based on a limited number of observations.
They attributed the observed higher flash rate to diurnal cycle of mountain breeze.
They attributed this high lightning flash rate to the short duration of an active phase of a thunderstorm.
Possible causes of such high lightning flash rates in these thunderstorms are discussed.
In this paper, we report observations made during three short-duration thunderstorms occurred in this region with very high peak flash rates (about 80 flashes per minute).
All these thunderstorms exhibited very high peak flash rates ranging from 40 to 80 flashes per minute during the active stage.
Observations of these three thunderstorms over the northeastern part of India demonstrate that small thunderstorms can have very high lightning flash rates of about 40 to 90 fpm.
However, our observations demonstrate that high lightning flash rates and lightning jumps can also be associated with small single cell non-severe thunderstorms.
The formation of such small duration thunderstorms with very high lightning flash rates is attributed to the conversion of moisture in the valley during nighttime.
