Can I turn on the air conditioner when it thunders and rains?

It's best not to turn on the air conditioner when it thunders and rains.

It is best not to use other electrical appliances, but to unplug them, because the circuits are all connected together. If lightning strikes, high voltage will not only break through some equipment, but also affect the whole line.

When you are at home, if there is lightning outside, you should close your doors and windows. Some lightning can directly enter your home, which is very dangerous. If there is a metal substance connected to the outside at home, it is best to stay away from it and not touch it to prevent lightning from passing through.
