> thick storm clouds

Sounds like a sure fire recipe for a (permanent?) super intense electrical storm in right that spot.

Might make that specific latitude uninhabitable due to the planet turning. Though it could be worth the trade off, due to there being a bunch of available land on the planet in other latitudes.

If you have some truly huge arrays of super capacitors such a permanent electrical storm might even be useful. :)

Sounds sorta fun IMO. With the slower rotation of the planet and the rotational winds being slower maybe there would be less lightning. IDK though, I'm talking out of my ass.
