47. Lightning Intensity Across the Globe
Whether or not we realize it, our lives are very much determined by different climates and types of weather. Sometimes there will be an extreme weather event where something happens and this becomes more clear, and other times it is just the plain old geography of where we live that explains why things are the way they are.
This map outlines the intensity of lightning in different parts of the world. From what we can tell, it seems like lightning doesn’t really have any interest in striking too hard in the water. But there certainly are different countries and specific points in their geography that are hit harder than other places.
