The temperature of lightning (the air heated by it) can be around 30,000 degrees centigrade or 54,000 degrees Fahrenheit; that's about five times as hot as the surface of the Sun.
The rapid heating of the atmosphere causes the explosive expansion of the superheated air, creating a shock wave that is heard as thunder.
When lightning strikes sand, it can melt the surrounding grains into glass (vitrification), leaving hollow glass veins (called fulgurites or 'petrified lightning') outlining its shape and path many metres into the ground; this requires the sand to reach a temperature of over 3,270 degrees Fahrenheit.
