The results of a study strong increase in gamma-ray background in the surface layer of the atmosphere during precipitation and near thunderstorms in Yakutsk (based on the Cosmic Ray Spectrometer of the Institute of Cosmic Rays of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences) and Tiksi (Polar Geospace Observatory of the IKFIA SB RAS) are present in this paper.
