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!
The Catatumbo lightning storm is a weather phenomenon that occurs at the Catatumbo River in Venezuela. It is known for producing nearly constant lightning, with strikes occurring up to 140-160 nights a year and lasting for 10 hours at a time. The lightning is believed to be caused by the unique combination of wind patterns, moisture, and topography in the region.
Yes, lightning can strike the same place multiple times. Tall structures such as skyscrapers, radio towers, and trees are often struck by lightning repeatedly due to their height and ability to conduct electricity.
On average, a commercial airplane is struck by lightning about once a year. Modern aircraft are built to withstand lightning strikes, and safety measures are in place to protect passengers and the aircraft during such an event.

"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
