Is thunderstorm weather dangerous?

First of all, whether people will be struck by lightning is closely related to whether they are at the highest point of the environment. Lightning current always chooses the shortest and most conductive path, which is easy to discharge the object with the highest occurrence area.

In cities, lightning will hit high-rise buildings first, and people will not be hit by lightning whether they play umbrellas, umbrellas of any material or mobile phones. But in the open space, trees and people are often relatively high points, which can easily attract lightning to be hit. Open fields, lawns, parks, beaches, the sea, football fields and golf courses are all very dangerous places in thunderstorm weather.

Secondly, metal, electrolyte solution and human body are all conductors. Dry wood and air are not conductors; Once they get wet, they will become conductors. The shell and circuit board of the mobile phone are all metal. Whether it is turned on or off, it is easy to cause electric field changes in thunderstorm days. If a thunderstorm is in an open place with a conductor on it, then people are like lightning rods, actively attracting lightning.

Matters needing attention in thunderstorm days

1, try to avoid going out, especially in the wild. Lightning activity is often short and intense, so it is the wisest choice to wait until the lightning weakens.

If you must travel, don't bring a metal umbrella and a pointed umbrella, but a plastic umbrella and a flat umbrella.

3. Don't enter isolated wooden houses, sentry boxes, big trees, telephone poles and other places to shelter from the rain. If you are near a dangerous area, jump away.

4. When the outdoor water overflows into the house, cut off the power supply in time to prevent electric shock from hurting people.

Don't take an umbrella on the high-speed rail platform to avoid electric shock.

6. Don't stay on the water or water. There is a charge for water in thunderstorm weather. Swimming in rivers, lakes, seas and beaches or washing clothes, fishing and playing by the river are all very dangerous behaviors.

7. Don't go barefoot. Direct contact with the ground will increase the possibility of being struck by lightning. Wear shoes or put insulators such as plastic on the soles of your feet.

8. If you are in an open area in thunderstorm weather, you should stay away from all possible conductive items such as mobile phones, metal umbrellas, jewelry, selfie sticks and golf clubs. , and try to reduce the body by lightning.
