How is lightning produced? How to avoid thunder and lightning in the high incidence period?

Thunderstorm weather will be more frequent in summer, especially in the five southeastern provinces and coastal areas of China, which is a high incidence area of lightning disasters. Lightning weather is a natural disaster, and human beings cannot change it. Although it is much less destructive than natural disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis and floods, lightning weather lasts for a long time and occurs frequently, which will endanger everyone's life.

How is lightning produced?

We can't touch lightning, we can only see and feel it with our eyes, and lightning happens very fast and can't be avoided at all. So how is lightning formed and what are its characteristics? When summer comes, the temperature begins to rise, and the hot air on the ground condenses into water droplets after encountering cold air, forming cumulus clouds. The water droplets on the cumulus are rubbed by the strong airflow to generate charges. Eventually, the cumulus is negatively charged, and the ground is positively charged, which attracts each other to form a current and eventually becomes lightning. And lightning will generate a lot of heat in the process of formation, which will eventually expand and explode and make a loud noise. This is lightning.

In what ways does lightning hurt people?

Lightning is very easy to hurt people, and people are good conductors, so when lightning appears, it can directly hit people's heads, and then these currents come down from people's heads and then flow from the soles of their feet to the ground. Because the current brought by lightning is very strong, up to hundreds of thousands of Pei 'an, and the human body can't bear being struck by lightning, so almost no one who has been struck by lightning can survive. Lightning will also hit the surrounding trees, buildings, metals and so on. When it hits this object, it will leave a lot of current in a short time. Once people inoculate these objects, it is easy to get an electric shock.
