Thunderstorm weather is coming, what will you do?

In summer thunderstorm weather, when encountering thunderstorm weather, be sure to stay away from the top of the mountain or other commanding heights; If you are in the forest, pay attention to choose places surrounded by trees and with open spaces in the middle for lightning protection; It is generally safer to enter the cave, but don't lean against it.

In the thunderstorm weather in the wilderness, it is safer to wear a raincoat than an umbrella. On rainy days, in the wild, it is human nature to open an umbrella to keep out the rain. But remember, if you hear thunder immediately after seeing lightning, it means that you are in a thunderstorm environment. Stop walking, put down your umbrella, and get down immediately with your feet together. Even if you don't have an umbrella, you shouldn't run around. When the thunder fades away, you can quickly find a safe place to shelter from the rain. It is safer to prepare a raincoat when traveling.

Don't hide under the tree from the rain. Traveling outside, there is a thunderstorm, and there is a big tree next to it. Most people will naturally run under the tree to hide from the rain. As we all know, although hiding from the rain, it has caused lightning disasters, and accidents of being hit by lightning under trees often occur. If you really have to stay under the big tree, you must keep a distance of more than 2 meters from the tree body and branches, try to squat down and put your feet together first. This can not only reduce the effective height of human body, but also prevent the harm of step voltage.

In fact, lightning is a huge electric spark. This is obvious when lightning rushes from the ground to the clouds or from the clouds to the ground, although it can also spread in or between clouds. The airflow that makes up a storm cloud can separate powerful electric energy from the cloud.

Lightning strikes millions of volts, causing air to expand and explode, thus forming lightning. Thunder itself is harmless. The possibility of being struck by lightning in thunderstorm weather is very small, but the lightning phenomenon cannot be predicted completely and accurately, so be careful to prevent and reduce the danger.

Lightning always twists and turns along the path of least resistance. Its path in the air depends entirely on the electric field and charge distribution in the air, and it is usually only affected by the ground conditions when it is more than ten meters away from the ground to 100 meters. Generally speaking, the ground has good conductivity and there are prominent tall objects. , vulnerable to lightning. For example, the geological conditions of metal minerals with good conductivity are more vulnerable to lightning strikes than general geological conditions, and the chances of being struck by lightning in wet soil are more than in dry soil, sandy land and rocky land. The water surface is more vulnerable to lightning strikes than in dry land, and prominent buildings such as tall buildings and chimneys are more vulnerable to lightning strikes than in flat land, and mountainous areas are more vulnerable to lightning strikes than in valleys.
