Did you know that *lightning strikes* go on vacation on the #weekend?
Obviously, I'm joking, but from the graph it would seem so.
This 2018 data collected by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association (#NOAA) shows that Saturday and Sunday distributions are both lower than the rest of the week.
Why?
SPOILER: We don't know...BUT ️

We might consider two factors as possible pathways for further investigation:
- Do aerosol particles emitted by #factories and #vehicles increase the likelihood of #lightningstrikes?
- Saturdays and Sundays are days when many people do not work, so there may be fewer factories operating and fewer cars on the road.
