A 19th-century windmill in the UK has a lightning protection system in place

Summary

Nutrition label

81% Informative

A 19th-century windmill in eastern England has a lightning-protection system installed on it.

Storms are getting more likely with every passing year because of climate change.

For every degree of atmospheric warming, the air can hold about 7 percent more moisture.

Organizations are already taking the threat seriously and quietly moving to protect buildings and critical infrastructure.

Scientists aren’t sure whether climate change will definitely boost the global frequency of lightning strikes in the coming decades .

Lightning is strong enough to explode bricks or send power surges down electrical lines, potentially damaging plugged-in devices.

The LPI recommends that building owners commission an assessment of their lightning risk and consider installing a lightning protection system that meets current standards.
