We have heard the saying: 'April showers brings May flowers.' This proverb leaves out the critical role of lightning. Lightning is often seen as a destructive force, sparking wildfires and causing power outages, but it plays a vital role in maintaining healthy ecosystems and supporting plant growth. Each year, Earth experiences about 1.4 billion lightning flashes, with over 460,000 strikes occurring in the Buckeye State.

CLEVELAND — "In like a lion, out like a lamb" usually refers to the wild weather in March. The month typically starts off windy and stormy (like a lion) but ends calmly and pleasantly (like a lamb). Despite this weather proverb, the windiest part of the year is much sooner in the year. Cleveland experiences its windiest conditions in January, with an average hourly wind speed of 13.2 miles per hour, according to historical weather data.

CLEVELAND — We wrapped up the final week of February with some spring-like storms. These storms produced heavy downpours, hail and even thunder. In the winter, these rare storms often bring loud, booming thunder that can shake windows and startle people indoors. Wintertime thunder is louder because of how sound travels through the atmosphere during colder months. Thunder is the sound produced by the rapid expansion of air following a lightning strike.
