Lightning strikes occurred in South India during 2019-21

A study by the National Centre for Earth Science Studies #NCESS has found that 5.3 million #lightning strikes occurred in South India during 2019-21. The majority of lightning strikes in India occur during the pre-monsoon period, between March and May. However, the north east monsoon season lightnings carries more high currents (>100kA), making it more dangerous. The research also highlights that in the hotspot regions, most lightning activity happens between 3 PM and 6 PM due to land surface heating and convection. Average duration of lightning activity in the lightning hotspot is 1.8 hrs. Lighting safety awareness needs to be improved in the region.
