Why does Florida have abundant mid-afternoon thunderstorms?
What will be an ideal response?
The Florida peninsula juts out between the Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico, both of which are excellent sources of moist air. Moist air from the oceans moves onto the irregular land surface, causing air to pile up (convergence) and form clouds. Because Florida is also exposed to intense solar heating, this adds to the effect of convergence and results in a high frequency of thunderstorms.
