The probability of a lightning strike to a structure is not uniformly distributed across all surfaces or points of that structure. Certain areas such as corners & edges are inherently more susceptible to strikes. DEGM analysis accurately assess and quantify these high-risk zones.

Lightning is one of the most dramatic natural phenomena in the atmosphere, created by the build-up and sudden release of electrical energy within storm clouds. Its formation begins inside cumulonimbus clouds due to powerful updrafts and downdrafts which cause particle collision.

Lightning can strike open areas like a football pitch, especially during thunderstorms. Since it's a large, flat space with few tall objects, players and spectators are at risk. Always seek shelter immediately when you hear thunder or see lightning.

A power station lacking adequate protective devices, such as a lightning protection system, is highly vulnerable to surge-induced fires that can cause severe damage or complete destruction.
