Ever wonder when storms our most likely to occur throughout the year? You will have a better idea on how to prepare if you know the pattern of behavior. Storms can come at any time, but to my surprise April, May and June are the most active Months. Growing up in Michigan I honestly thought July and August were the hottest most humid months of the year. My Michigan people, do you agree? The main components to a thunderstorm are rapid rising warm air and moisture. By the way, today is officially the first day of summer. June 21^st and will end on September 22^nd.
