Lightning strikes are powerful atmospheric discharges. Even though they are natural phenomena, they can pose great risk when they strike on Earth due to their power. In the residential sector, lightning can have important consequences among which fires are included.

Lightning is one of the most fascinating and spectacular natural phenomena. The powerful electrostatic discharge that it represents lights up the sky during electrical storms.
Nevertheless, we must not forget that lightning strikes Earth with great force, and without appropriate protection and prevention it is potentially hazardous for people, animals, buildings and electrical and electronic equipment.
Nowadays, around 25 million lightning strikes impact the earth every year. In relation to the frequency of the lightning strikes, some research studies point out that the heat and a rise in temperature are related to cloud electrification. In fact, it is known that during the summer, thunderstorms are more frequent.
This reasoning could make us think that if the climate change produces a global rise in temperatures, an increase in lightning events could be produced.
