- Many reported incidents of lightning strike casualties often link to mobile phone use. It's a common thought that mobile phones pose a risk if use during thunderstorm because lightning is attracted to metals.
Safety experts explained that lightning is not attracted to anything, the expression "opposite attracts" is definitely the case for lightning, as it occurs when the strong negative charges (electrons) in the cloud attracts positive charges (protons) in the ground, but not because lightning is attracted to anything below.
So when exactly lightning risk people from getting struck? One and the mostly considered factor is our proximity to metallic structures, trees, waterbodies, and plugged devices, that's why we are reminded to stay away from them, not again because lightning is attracted to anything, but because they can serve as conductors, lightning always choose the path of less resistance to quicky get to the ground.
Is using cellphone during thunderstorm not considered a factor? Cellphone use does not pose a risk because it constitutes an insignificant amount of metals, but charging cellphone or plugging electronics during thunderstorm is never safe because it is connected to a steel beams and metal tools outside, when lightning struck the outside components it can travel through wirings damaging everything in its path and as it reaches the handset can result to injury or death of anyone who happens to be there nearby.
In simple term, lightning is not attracted to anything, that includes you, your phone, and every objects around you, therefore, it's only a myth that cellphone use is the reason behind reported incidents of lightning strike, blame rather the conductivity of metals and waters that offers pathway for the lightning to pass through and struck anyone and anything causing casualties.

clouds is positive charge and ground is a negative charge in the word ground it means negative charge gournd is always negative its always zero
my Mother is always shouting at me for using my phone at lightning thinking it attracts lightning... She even Believe that Mirror Attracts Lightning Too!
😂😂 bruh tell me about it, I always tell my parents that no science has ever proved that. The 80s kids have their own ways of believing things
I like to call this a comfortable temperature today UK
Thanks
Thanks 😊
Same question here, do metal roof also attract lightning strike?
There is a chance if the surface somehow gets charged but it won't do any damage if it is grounded safely
lightning isn’t attracted to metal but when lightning does strike it most likely will end up also depositing into nearby metal
I came here just after a seeing a video where lighting strikes a rooftop of a house in Bihar which was made of tin.
I had the same doubt, while walking on railroad. One day i asked this question to my professor.
Uk 🇬🇧 is 74f so -30 = 44 / 2 = 22 +1 (23c) approx or 23.333 c
Thank you
