Can I use an umbrella when it thunders?

If it is in the urban area, the lightning protection facilities are relatively perfect, and the lightning is not serious, you can take an umbrella for a while. If people are in an open place, it is best not to open an umbrella, because the top of the umbrella handle is usually a metal object, which can conduct electricity. When it thunders, it may cause lightning strikes, which has certain security risks.

In general, lightning rods are installed in many parts of the city. Even if it thunders, the lightning rod can draw away the lightning. Therefore, people can take an umbrella in thunderstorm weather, but if they go to an open place, try not to take an umbrella.

In case of thunderstorm and frequent thunder, it is best to stay indoors or find a safe place to shelter from the rain, and don't open an umbrella outdoors to avoid accidents.

Summer is a season with frequent thunderstorms. When it thunders, try not to go to telephone poles or trees. It's better to unplug the home appliance, which is safer.
