Lightning is one of the most dangerous and frequent weather hazards in Malaysia, with an average of 180 to 260 thunderstorms per year. Lightning can cause fatalities, injuries, property damage, and business disruptions. Therefore, it is important to have a reliable and accurate way of detecting and warning about lightning activity in your area.
Lightning Warning System Definition
Fortunately, there is such a thing as a “lightning warning system.” A lightning warning system is a system designed to provide advance notification of lightning strikes in a particular area. It typically employs a variety of sensors to detect the electromagnetic pulses generated by lightning and can determine the distance and direction of a lightning strike based on the time delay between the detection of the lightning flash and the arrival of its accompanying thunder.
The system can then alert those in the affected area, giving them time to seek shelter or take other appropriate precautions. Lightning warning systems are commonly used in outdoor settings like sporting events, construction sites, and outdoor festivals, as well as in industries like aviation and utilities, where lightning strikes pose a significant risk to personnel and equipment.
A lightning warning system can provide you with valuable information and ample time to take the necessary precautions before, during, and after a storm.
