Cloud to air lightning is a rare form of lightning that occurs during a thunderstorm. High above the base of the storm, cloud to cloud lightning can jump out of the cloud into the air This is the phenomena known as cloud to air lightning.

This form of lightning occurs when positive charges build inside thunderstorms while negative charges build in the air around the thunderstorm. If the charges are sorted enough inside the storm, a bolt of lightning will jump out into the air, striking the negative charges.

This form of lightning is not very dangerous, but lightning kills people every year, and injures even more, so no matter what kind of lightning is occurring head inside and wait 30 minutes after the last rumble of thunder before heading back outside. "When thunder roars, go indoors!"
