The lightning and the rain

Hello folks,

i once heard that when it starts to rain during a thunderstorm, the risk of a lightning strike is reduced because the raindrops are an interruption, so to speak. I don’t know how to explain this, that’s why I’m asking 🙂

greetings

Johnny

Thunderstorms with rain are the rule. However, they are no longer dangerous and also no less dangerous than so-called dry weather. Actually, every thunderstorm in connection with precipitation takes place. The difference is that the air between cloud and earth simply does not contain so much humidity and the rain can evaporate on its way to the ground.

Since water is rather a very good conductor and the humidity rises in the rain, I personally think that exactly the opposite is the case.
Now I’m not a pysic or something, and I wouldn’t put a hand in the fire for theory, but that would make sense for me.
