• In times of lightning and thunderstorms, you should seek protection as quickly as possible! You can track the distance to a thunderstorm tracked with the Weather & Radar app. As soon as the thunder is perceptible, the thunderstorm is closer than 10 kilometers.
• It is most dangerous during a thunderstorm while in the open water. Even if a lightning strikes 100 meters away, the current is still transmitted and can affect the entire body. Then there is an acute danger to life!
•
• If there is an unexpected thunderstorm in the open field, you should always crouch and then wait for the thunderstorm with your legs tightly closed. If you spread your legs, a so-called step voltage can occur when a lightning strikes in the immediate vicinity.
•
• Certain risky objects should be avoided. These are single trees, groups of trees or wooden poles. A distance of at least ten meters is optimal. In the interior of a forest with a consistently high stock of trees, the risk is lower than with individual groups of trees.
•
• A house offers the greatest protection. However, you should avoid contact with all metal lines such as gas, electricity and telephone lines. Mobile phones may be used. Bathing or showering during a thunderstorm is not really safe.
