Permanent lightning occurs only at the mouth of the Catatumbo River and Lake Maracaibo (Venezuela). Scientists have studied and proposed many different hypotheses about this phenomenon but have not yet found a satisfactory explanation. According to BBC, where the Catatumbo River meets Lake Marcaibo, lightning strikes an average of 140-160 nights/year, 10 hours/day and 28 times/minute.
