Este fenómeno se caracteriza por ser un relámpago casi continuado, que se produce en nubes de gran desarrollo vertical formando arcos eléctricos entre los 2 y los 10 kilómetros de altura (o más), a medida que los vientos alisios penetran en la superficie del lago en horas de la tarde (cuando la evaporación es mayor) y se ven obligados a ascender por el sistema montañoso de Perijá (de 3.750 msnm) y la Cordillera de Mérida, el ramal venezolano de los Andes (de 5.000 msnm, aproximadamente). El origen de este fenómeno está en el efecto orográfico de estas cordilleras que encierran y frenan a los vientos del noreste produciéndose nubes de gran desarrollo vertical, concentradas principalmente en la cuenca del río Catatumbo.The "Relámpago del Catatumbo" (Catatumbo lightning) is a phenomenon that occurs over the marshlands at the Maracaibo mouth of the river, where lightning storms occur for about 10 hours a night, 140 to 160 to nights a year, for a total of about 1.2 million lightning discharges per year. The light from thisactivity can be seen up to 400 km away and has been used for ship navigation; it is also known as the "Maracaibo Beacon" for this reason.[1]
