The Met Office has issued several 'yellow thunderstorm warnings' for the UK, highlighting the potential for frequent lightning.
Most people are familiar with basic thunderstorm safety, such as avoiding standing under trees or near a window, and not speaking on a corded phone .
In a thunderstorm, clouds act as enormous Van de Graaff generators, separating the positive and negative charges to create massive charge separations inside the clouds. The most useful advice for a thunderstorm is: When thunder roars, go indoors. However, this does not mean you are completely safe from the storm. There are some activities inside that can be almost as risky as staying outside in the storm.Unless you're sitting in a bath outside or showering in the rain, you're incredibly unlikely to be struck by lightning. But if lightning strikes your house, the electricity would follow the path of least resistance to the ground.
