The Dhaka Times Desk In recent times, there have been a lot of lightning incidents during the monsoons. Death has also increased a lot. Not only in the country, but in different parts of the world, it is now the name of a terrible disaster. Now new information about that lightning has been released.
A study says that every year around 24 thousand people are killed by lightning around the world. Another 240,000 people were injured.
It is known that after lightning strikes, electricity finds its way through water and metal objects. That's why this problem happened!
Human fatalities are mainly due to 'cloud to ground lightning' or lightning falling from the cloud to the ground. During lightning, standing under a tree, standing next to a window, charging the phone and talking are also prohibited. During this time, it is advised to stay indoors for safety reasons.
Are you completely safe at home during a lightning strike?
It is not at all safe to take a shower during a thunderstorm. Not only that, during this time there may be a risk of death even in washing dishes. In the event of lightning, it is better not to touch anything that carries water and electricity. After lightning strikes, electricity finds its way through water and metal objects. Both metal mills and water can become electrically conductive during a lightning strike. Therefore, there is a risk of electrocution if you take a bath when the faucet is turned on or the shower is struck by lightning. It can also lead to death.
Never sleep on a concrete floor during this time. Don't lean on concrete walls either. Concrete is not a conductor of electricity. However, if lightning strikes the metal beam, it may become electrically conductive.
Cumulonimbus clouds usually produce thunderstorms and rain. That is why this cloud is called Vajragarbha cloud. The amount of these thunderclouds has increased in April-May over the last few years. One of the reasons is the excess of water vapor in the air, and another reason is the abnormal increase in temperature.
Pollution is directly linked to this rise in temperature. As the level of pollution increases, so does the average temperature. Due to which the ideal environment is created for thunderclouds. Therefore, the death rate due to lightning is also increasing. So awareness should be increased among people. Source: Anandabazar Patrika.
