Abstract: Lightning activities are used as bases in enhancing prediction of severe convective weather events, particularly nowcasting. Studies showed that lightning activities are highly correlated with precipitation rate. However, linking the occurrence of lighting to the thermodynamics of thunderstorm is not well understood on a localized scale. In the Philippines, there have been a few studies relating lightning with thunderstorm. Precipitation during thunderstorm event can be intense, and the duration of torrential rain can last longer hours resulting to damages in properties, and associated flooding or landslide that may even cause deaths. Thus, developing an early warning system based on lightning activity for severe weather events is of great value. The study aims to evaluate the relationship between lightning and thunderstorm activities in Metro Manila by analyzing their spatiotemporal distribution and investigating the atmospheric profile conditions during thunderstorm across different seasons. Case studies are conducted to identify common features observed from atmospheric profile of thunderstorms that coincided with intense lightning activities.
