In York County, Pennsylvania, a lightning strike ignited the attic of a house. Analysis of the causes and lightning protection solutions for buildings.
A scientific study explains why the lack of protection for buildings amplifies the consequences of lightning in sub-Saharan Africa, and what solutions exist.
The lightning-caused fires in Oregon serve as a reminder of how to protect water, telecom, and other critical infrastructure networks.
On July 27, 2026, a tree trimmer was struck by lightning and killed on a worksite in Whitewater, Wisconsin. This accident, supported by global, American, and French statistics, serves as a stark reminder of why every outdoor worksite requires a clear lightning protocol and appropriate detection tools.
El Niño is redistributing thunderstorm-prone conditions globally. Discover what this means for risk analysis, monitoring, and lightning protection.
El Niño is a phase of the ENSO climate system that alters Pacific Ocean temperatures, winds, and the location of tropical convection. Understanding its mechanism helps interpret regional variations in thunderstorm activity, but it does not imply a uniform risk everywhere. The NOAA bulletin of July 9, 2026, confirms a strengthening El Niño. For infrastructure operators, the best response remains sustainable: analyze lightning risk, protect installations according to IEC 62305, and monitor the actual activity observed at each site.
