While it here in our relatively in Hesse are few lakes, so are the activities of the water still a popular pastime for many of us. Finally, the same rules apply in the outdoor pools.
course, one is fishing, swimming, rowing, windsurfing and picnicking on the beach not to the dangers that may emanate from a thunderstorm. However, one should already be aware that, on surfboards, rowboats, paddle boats, pedal-boats and no lightning protection is possible. Therefore, with such small pleasure boats already on the approach of a thunderstorm soon as the banks start and seek shelter in a car or house.
is also in our swimming pools: Swimming or wading through the water is extremely dangerous storm. Since a lightning strike within 10:00 to 20:00 yards from the impact site at least paralyze the body itself is in shallow water, the danger of drowning! In swimming pools they should therefore leave immediately at the first signs of storm water. When fishing rod and remove it immediately seek a protection agency.
If you on the water, away from the shore, the storm surprised, it might be cheaper to put in the boat and flip the boom of surf and wide to sit on the wide, so that the risk of direct lightning strike reduced.
More tips: increase
sun and umbrellas, and other "outstanding" items, the risk of direct lightning strike. Let us rather be wet and put all these things flat on the floor.
Basically, lakes and rivers are generally more dangerous than the open sea, as sea water, because of its salt content, a much lower electrical resistance than fresh water, and thus derives the lightning better than a human body.
On the coast the danger comes from lightning back somewhat, as a thunderstorm usually hangs over the country because the strong hot air currents that are necessary for its formation decrease quickly over the relatively cold water surface. On the other hand, therefore wind gusts and turbulence on the shore and beach are especially harsh.
