Durban - A University of KwaZulu-Natal PhD student has developed a near-real-time lightning warning system (NRT-LWS) for rural communities in South Africa.
Maqsooda Mahomed, who is from the School of Agricultural, Earth and Environmental Sciences, presented her research project at the UKZN Postgraduate Research and Innovation Symposium last week.
“South Africa has one of the highest incidences of lightning-related injuries and deaths in comparison to the rest of the world,” she said.
Mahomed said it was a cause for concern that South Africa was already a lighting-prone country with increased activity because of climate change, and projections showed a further increase in lightning activity.
