Short summary
Severe thunderstorm outbreaks are a source of major damage across Europe. Using historical data, we analysed the large-scale weather patterns leading to these outbreaks in eight different regions. Three types of regions emerge: those limited by temperature, those limited by saturation, and those overall favourable for thunderstorms, consistent with their associated weather patterns and the general climate. These findings help explain regional differences and provide a basis for future forecast improvements.
