In Tucson, during the summer monsoon, which starts about the mid till end of July and lasts about 3-4 weeks, many thunderstorms with now and then a high lightning intensity occur (at all about 30 thunderstorms). During that time, the air is very hot and humid, that favours the origin of fierce thunderstorms.

Yes, take the Empire State Building, it gets hit by lightning hundreds of times a year.
When a person gets hit by lightning, they are struck by the lightning bolt itself rather than the heat or electricity radiating from it. The current typically enters the body at the point where the lightning makes contact, such as the head or shoulders, and travels through the body to the ground.
Yes, positive lightning is generally considered more dangerous than negative lightning because it is typically stronger and carries a higher voltage. Positive lightning strikes also tend to occur less frequently but can cause more damage and pose a greater risk to individuals and structures.

Phoenix is hotter than Tucson due to its lower elevation, which allows it to heat up more during the day. Phoenix also has fewer distractions from surrounding mountains or bodies of water, which can help trap heat and create a warmer climate. Additionally, Phoenix is located in the Sonoran Desert, which is known for its extreme temperatures.

On average, cloud-to-ground lightning strikes the Earth about 25 million times per year. The frequency can vary based on geographical location and weather conditions.
While lightning is much hotter than magma exposure only lasts a fraction of a second. The plasma in lighting is also much less dense than magma, so there is less opportunity to transfer heat. The greatest threat of being hit by lighting is not the heat but the electrical shock. About 1 in 10 people hit by lightning will die from electrocution.
The CN Tower in Toronto is struck by lightning more frequently than the Empire State Building or the Eiffel Tower due to its height and location in a region with frequent thunderstorms. The Empire State Building is also a lightning target, receiving around 20 to 25 strikes per year. The Eiffel Tower, while tall, is less frequently struck than the other two due to its design and the local weather patterns. Overall, the CN Tower experiences the highest number of lightning strikes annually.
