“…Notably, the contribution of dry thunderstorms to fire hazard is rarely discussed in Russian scientific papers. Most of the current research focuses on either describing the characteristics of certain wildfires and their impact on the atmosphere in specific regions or local spots, or estimating global trends through the building of climatic predictions [21][22][23][24]. Concurrently, landscape zones and their characteristics, which are distinctive of the Siberian and Arctic areas with a predominance of fire-hazardous tendencies, are practically ignored and not investigated as part of a single project.…”

This research compares the spatial and temporal variability of lightning activity associated with wildfires in several natural geographical zones of Western Siberia from 2016–2021. The study was based on the World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN) and The Fire Information for Resource Management System (FIRMS) for the warm (April–October) season. It was revealed that areas of hotspots and lightning activity most often coincide in the southwestern part of the territory (near Khanty-Mansiysk and Tyumen), in the mountain regions (Kuznetsk Alatau, Altai), and in the northern part of Kazakhstan. Maximum values of lightning occur in July for the whole territory of Western Siberia, and maximum values of hotspots occur in April in the central and southern regions of Western Siberia. Despite the largest number of fires in the south of the territory, the probability of ignition from lightning over the whole warm season is higher in the northern parts of Western Siberia; it reaches up to 30%. Thus, the revealed lightning–fire association allows us to better understand this process in the region that will be useful in the prediction of the potential fire danger in different natural zones.
