GOES-East got a spectacular view of nocturnal thunderstorms near Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela on August 15, 2018. This animation shows GOES GeoColor imagery with a Geostationary Lightning Mapper lightning overlay. This area is known for “Catatumbo lightning,” an atmospheric phenomenon that only occurs over the mouth of the Catatumbo River where it empties into Lake Maracaibo. Catatumbo lightning is one of the world's most frequent lightning displays, with thunderstorms forming over the Catatumbo River in Venezuela an average of 160 nights per year. The near-continuous lightning displays last up to 9 hours, beginning shortly after dusk. Lake Maracaibo has a unique geography and climatology that is ideal for the development of thunderstorms.
