Percy Jackson and the Olympians likely took place very recently. Certain events in flashbacks happened a long time ago, but the main storyline occurs between the mid/late-1990's and today (the 21st century).
Percy has a confirmed birthdate of August 18th 1993.
Since Percy Jackson is 12 years old in the Lightning Thief that means the the book takes place in mid-2005.
About 3,000 fires a year are started by lightning strikes.

Lightning is very rare in the Philippines, so about 10 per year!
Yes it can. Tall buidings have lightning conductors which are hit several times every year. It is estimated that there are 8,000,000 lightning strikes every day. Not only does it hit the same place more than once, several people have been hit more than once.Sometimes in Florida where they have a lot of lightning and they have tree nurseries They have trees called lightning trees. These trees don't get sold they are there because they have been struck by lightning before which means they are one of the tallest trees in the grove they are there so they can attract lightning so the lightning doesn't strike other trees. So if your out in an open field every time when it is raining and lightning is going on too, you may get struck more than once.It can and often has.
About 3000 brush fires per year are started by lightning strikes.
it took about 1 year

"The Lightning Thief" was published in 2005, but it takes place basically in the present time period; I don't think it really takes place in the past or future :)

First of it is not Percy Jackson and the Thunder thief it is the lightning thief. The book was and still is very successful. Every year in November they make a new one. :-) By Johnathan Fowler Stephens
Of course I recommend it! Even 5 year olds can read Percy Jackson.
It was present day, and it began in the late school year. and Percy was in grade six so he was 12 years old
