Seasonal Reversal of Polarity Dominance in High‐Current Cloud‐to‐Ground Return Strokes Over East Asian Midlatitudes

Abstract Extreme positive cloud‐to‐ground lightning over East Asian midlatitudes exhibits a spring–autumn double maximum hidden by the familiar winter climatology. Using 1,838,538 return strokes with absolute peak currents at least 200 kA during 2006–2024, we resolve its annual c...
