Can I take a shower in thunderstorm weather?

You can't take a shower in thunderstorm weather.

At present, the bathing equipment used at home is basically electric water heaters or solar water heaters. Generally, solar water heaters are above the lightning protection zone. In thunderstorm weather, it will receive lightning before the lightning arrester, so it is easy to be struck by lightning when taking a shower. It is very unsafe to use electricity in thunderstorm weather, and it is difficult to ensure that it will not be struck by lightning. If you still use electric water heaters or solar energy in thunderstorm weather, it is easy to cause safety hazards, so you can't take a shower in thunderstorm weather.

Things not to do in thunderstorm weather:

1, don't go to the gas station to refuel.

Because lightning is powerful in thunderstorm days, once it hits a certain part of the gas station, it is easy to deflagrate and hurt the driver. Moreover, due to the increase of electronic equipment in the car, static electricity is generated, and the possibility of lightning strike is correspondingly increased. Therefore, drivers are advised not to refuel in rainy days. Instead, you should park your car outside the gas station and wait until the rain stops.

Don't listen to the radio during a thunderstorm.

The antenna of the radio acts as a lightning rod, absorbing lightning. If the radio is used during thunder, strong current is likely to invade the electrical equipment and cause its damage. Therefore, it is suggested that the owner put the antenna away and put it outside the car in lightning weather, and don't strive to be a lightning rod.

3. Be sure to choose a good parking space.

Thunderstorms are very frequent in summer, and the possibility of lightning strikes increases accordingly. If you park your car under a tree, you may be attacked by lightning. Even if there is no lightning strike, breaking branches in rainy days may damage the vehicle. Try not to drive to the top of the mountain or the roof, which is easy to be struck by lightning. You can park your car in a regular large parking lot to prevent thunderstorms. Pay attention to whether there are transformers, electric boxes, telephone poles and other power distribution equipment near the parking space. If so, try to avoid it and choose another parking space.
