The article presents the study results of thunderstorm activity with rainfall over a large territory of Western Siberia in its three regions: Northern, Central and Southern over a seven-year period from 2017 to 2023. The study revealed the most favorable synoptic conditions for the formation of thunderstorm activity with heavy rainfall over a large area of Western Siberia. Cases are also reviewed and factors that need to be paid attention to when forecasting thunderstorms with squally winds are identified.

The article presents the study results of the annual variability of thunderstorm activity at nine climatic stations in Western Siberia over a fifty-year period from 1971 to 2020. The study revealed a complex quasi-periodic structure of thunderstorm activity series with the most pronounced amplitude of 7–8-year cycles for the forest-tundra and a 2–4-year cycle for the taiga zone, as well as forest-steppes.
