what causes lightning is that the positive charge of the storm and the negative charge of the ground (or it could be the opposite) interact like a battery and the electricity discharges into the ground lightning can also go up from the cloud into the air but i don't know why that is
A thunderstorm does not strike anything, it is "lightening" that does that.
To format a thunderstorm you need both lightening and rain.
Yes, it is dangerous to be near a lake during a thunderstorm as water can conduct electricity, increasing the risk of being struck by lightning. Seek shelter indoors during a thunderstorm to stay safe.
First of all lightening not only strike in summers but whenever any thunderstorm if there over the place. However we can say that heavy lightening is frequent in summer season because due to unstable atmosphere and high freezing level generates thunderstorms of great height. This is the reason that great amount of positive charge get accumulated at the base of the cumulonimbus clouds which causes heavy lightening.
when the hot air from higher up meets with cooler, lower air and they collide and create thunder & when thunder happens, lightening is created after thunder
You can be struck by lightening and killed if you are outside during a major thunderstorm.

because if the house gets hit by lightening it travels through the wiring and fries all the wires
cloud and energy :)
You are the highest object around in these places. Lightening looks for the easiest path and a human body is very conductive.

Lightening causes it. It is a pollutant at ground level.
An atmospheric discharge of static electricity is commonly known as lightning. Lightning is a sudden electrostatic discharge that occurs during a thunderstorm when there is a buildup of electric charge in the atmosphere.
Seeing a flash and hearing a boom at the same time during a thunderstorm indicates that the lightning strike occurred nearby, usually within a mile. This is a sign of close proximity and immediate danger as the lightning struck close to where you are. It's important to seek shelter indoors to stay safe.
Decided is to make a choice. I decided to wear my blue shirt instead of my white shirt because it is raining outside. I decided to stay inside during the thunderstorm because i did not want to get struck by lightening.
