Thunderstorm season near Asunción
Asunción sits in Paraguay, where lightning is most frequent October–March. Paraguay sits deep in subtropical South America, where abundant heat and moisture feed some of the continent's most active thunderstorms. From October to March, storms build almost daily over Asunción and the eastern departments, often organizing into the large, electrically intense systems that sweep across the region. The flat terrain lets them travel fast. Because these storms strike hard and from miles out, the live distance to the nearest flash and its trend are what give you warning.
