Lightning Warning & Alert Systems
PREVENTIVE ACTION AGAINST LIGHTNING STORMS
• Singapore is an island country which is prone to lightning strikes all year round. With her location laying near the Equator, the weather here is hot and humid which create a condition that is favourable for lightning and thunderstorm clouds. Therefore, lightning warning systems are widely used in Singapore. With an average of 168 thunderstorm days per year this make Singapore one of the highest lightnings occurrence in the world.
• Preventive protection means having information in advance (from a storm detector) that allows the user to start temporary preventive measures before the storm begins. These measures will be deactivated after the storm.
• Preventive protection will be complementary to an installed Lightning Protection System (LPS) in certain situations, while in others it will be sufficient to act alone.
• There are different types of lightning warning systems in the market. It is important for users to select the right type of lightning warning system to achieve the desired purpose.
