The weather in Uttar Pradesh

According to Indian media reports, on July 65438, 20021/KLOC-0, three Indian states were struck by lightning, resulting in 72 deaths. June to September is the season of frequent thunderstorms in India, but Indians have no awareness of lightning protection.

Like many high-rise buildings in China, lightning rods are installed at the top, but few high-rise buildings in India are equipped with lightning rods. So there are lightning casualties in India every year.

Most ordinary people in India believe in God. Just like what COVID-19 is experiencing, many people even worship the "Goddess of COVID-19" and pray that the epidemic will be controlled as soon as possible. Indians probably think that God will protect them during thunderstorms, so they have no awareness of lightning protection. ...

The lightning accident has killed 72 people, and the government responded. From the night of July 200211to the morning of July 12, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh in India suffered from extreme thunderstorm. Among them, in Amber Fort on the outskirts of Rajasthan, there are still many tourists taking selfies on the watchtower of the castle, among which 1 1 tourists were killed by lightning.

When the lightning struck, more than 30 tourists were still standing at the top of the castle taking pictures with their mobile phones, which was incredible. It can be seen that the Indian people have no awareness of lightning protection at all, and people with a little scientific knowledge will not do so.

In Uttar Pradesh, 4 1 people were killed by lightning when they went out at night, and in Madhya Pradesh,1people (including 4 children) were hit by lightning when they went out at night, and 13 people were burned by lightning.

After the lightning accident, Modi government sent five tweets to express condolences. At the same time, the government also indicated that it would provide 200,000 rupees (about 17372 RMB) for families who died from lightning strikes and 50,000 rupees (about 4,343 RMB) for families who suffered burns.

Why are people killed by lightning every year in India? Every summer when there is a thunderstorm, many people in India are killed by lightning. Why don't the Indian people learn their lesson? Because Indians don't even have basic knowledge of lightning protection.

It happened before, when there was a thunderstorm in India, four people ran to a big tree to hide from the rain and were struck by lightning. We all know that when lightning strikes, we should go to an open place and never run under a big tree.

For example, we check the weather forecast before going out every day. If there is extreme weather, we will try to stay indoors. However, there is no reliable weather forecasting software in India, which makes many people unable to avoid extreme weather in time.

In addition to the lack of lightning rods in high-rise buildings, there is another important reason that most workers in India work outdoors, which makes them more vulnerable when lightning comes.

Now the Indian government has begun to pay attention to the thunderstorm weather, and will also release the weather forecast on TV, but many remote and backward areas cannot receive the information in time. Indians still need to strengthen their awareness of lightning protection and try not to go out in extreme weather.
