Scientific paper

The South Pacific Convergence Zone (SPCZ) stretches over the West Pacific warm pool Southeastward to French Polynesia. The Island Climate Update monthly publishes the mean location deduced from the total rainfall. On the other hand, the World Wide Lightning Location Network monthly provides data from which the lightning activity distribution in the 0°-30° South latitude and 150°-240° West longitude area can be drawn. Scanning this rectangle from West to East allows the spots of maximum lightning activity to be located versus the longitude. Fitting the location of these maxima with a polynomial function leads to a curve comparable with the monthly mean position of the SPCZ, showing that this band of cloudiness is one of the main sources of lightning in this whole area.
