How to make storms that temporarily suppress electronics
Let's presume there's a world much like ours in the not so distant future, but as time goes by storms become stronger and more frequent. That as far as I understand this is already something related to global warming, but what (vaguely scientific process caused by either nature or pollution of some sort) could make the storms both more erratic and also temporarily suppress electronics too? This behaviour, importantly, cannot harm people, only temporarily disable electronics.
I'm aware that this is a difficult idea to render, so I'm willing to give some leeway about what exactly it does, but the point is that when a storm comes people have to stop using their devices and switch everything off, or just wait for it to pass before they can operate normally again.
