Short summary
Thunderstorms are difficult phenomena to measure systematically, as they occur randomly in space and time, have short duration and limited size. Recently, a large anemometric network for thunderstorm outflow monitoring and cataloguing has been created in the northern Mediterranean. This paper analyses about 200 events to study their seasonality, advection, duration, and intensity. The link between wind speed records, meteorological events, and weather scenarios is investigated.
