Climatology of lightning over Tororo-Uganda derived from trans African hydro meteorological observatory(TAHMO)

Abstract

Lightning is the voltage between the clouds and the Earth become so high that stray electrons in the air are accelerated to a kinetic energy large enough to knock electrons out of the atoms of the air. lightning can as well be defined as a transient, high-current electric discharge whose path length is generally measured in kilometres.it is also defined as an electrical discharge in the form of spark sourcing in a charged cloud (<Lightning_the_electrical_phenomenon_in_n_2 (1).pdf>,").
