(Morning News) The World Meteorological Organization confirmed that the longest single lightning level is 768 kilometers; the maximum duration of a single lightning is 17.102 seconds.
These two giant Lightning World records occur in North America and South America, respectively.The World Meteorological Organization Weather and Climate Extremely Value Commission on Monday (January 31) announced the world records of the new light electrode value. The world record was detected with the assistance of the latest satellite technology.
Agence France -Presse reported that the longest single lightning level was 768 ± 8 kilometers, which across Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, Southern, southern United States on April 29, 2020.The United Nations News Center reports that this is equivalent to the distance between Beijing and Yantai.This new record is nearly 60 kilometers long than the previous record 709 ± 8 kilometers.

It is likely that there is still greater pole value. With the advancement of lightning detection technology, we will be able to advance, we will be able to advance, we will be able to advance, we will be able to advance.With the ability to observe them.
