Will playing mobile phone in thunderstorm weather attract thunder?

At any time, mobile phones can't attract lightning. The electromagnetic radiation emitted by mobile phones is very weak, which will not cause lightning. The reason why people get struck by lightning outdoors is not because the mobile phone sends out radio signals, but because the terrain and height where the mobile phone user is located are inherently vulnerable to lightning. For example, this cleaner, standing on the empty tarmac, can easily become an isolated lightning strike target at a height.

Try to hide indoors in thunderstorm weather. If it's too late to escape, don't run. Knees down, chest close to knees, head down as much as possible, because the head is more vulnerable to lightning than other parts of the body.

Extended data:

It is safer to try not to use mobile phones in thunderstorm weather. The moment of thunder will produce a strong electromagnetic field, which will affect the electromagnetic wave of mobile phones. Due to the interference of lightning, the wireless frequency hopping of mobile phones will be enhanced, which is easy to induce accidents such as temporary no signal and machine burning.

In addition, although using the mobile phone outdoors will not increase the probability of lightning strike, it is worth noting that once it is hit, the current has two directions, one is from the skin surface and the other is from the inside of the human body. Sticking metal products such as mobile phones to the skin may indeed increase the probability of current flowing out of the body, which may lead to more serious electric shock damage.
