Is it dangerous to wear a necklace containing gold when it rains and thunders?

Wearing a gold necklace may be risky when it rains and thunders.

Gold has electrical and thermal conductivity, as well as ductility and metallic luster. In lightning weather, the charge in the atmosphere and the conductivity of metal may cause lightning to release current to the metal, making the worn metal ornaments a conductor of current and increasing the risk of being struck by lightning.

Although the gold necklace will not be directly hit by lightning, its metallic characteristics may make it more dangerous when it thunders. If it is lightning, it is recommended to remove the gold and silver jewelry worn on the body and head to reduce the risk of being struck by lightning.

If you must wear gold and silver jewelry, you'd better choose indoors, in the car and other places that are not exposed to the outside world. If you can't avoid the exposure of gold and silver jewelry in the wild, you can consider finding a closed building to shelter, or finding a low-lying place nearby to temporarily shelter.

In short, for the sake of safety, it is best to avoid wearing metal ornaments in lightning weather.
