Abstract
A database of lightning-related fatalities and injuries in Turkey was
constructed by collecting data from the Turkish State Meteorological
Service, newspaper archives, European Severe Weather Database, and the
internet. The database covers January 1930 to June 2014. In total, 742
lightning incidents causing human fatalities and injuries were found. Within
these 742 incidents, there were 895 fatalities, 149 serious injuries, and
535 other injuries. Most of the incidents (89 %) occurred during April
through September, with a peak in May and June (26 and 28 %) followed
by July (14 %). Lightning-related fatalities and injuries were most
frequent in the afternoon. Most of the incidents (86 %) occurred in
rural areas, with only 14 % in the urban areas. Approximately, two thirds
of the victims with known gender were male. Because of the
unrepresentativeness of the historical data, determining an average
mortality rate over a long period is not possible. Nevertheless, there were
31 fatalities (0.42 per million) in 2012, 26 fatalities (0.35 per million)
in 2013, and 25 fatalities (0.34 per million) in 2014 (as of June). There
were 36 injuries (0.49 per million) in each of 2012 and 2013, and 62
injuries (0.84 per million) in 2014 (as of June).
