Lightning - individual return strokes in a thunderstorm. Lightning Facts A bolt of lightning can reach temperatures approaching 50,000 degrees Fahrenheit (or about 28000 Kelvin) in a split second. This is hot enough to cause lightning strikes that hit a loose soil or sandy region of the ground to fuse the soil or sand into channels called fulgurites. These fulgurites are sometimes found under the sandy surfaces of beaches and golf courses or in desert regions. It is one evidence that lightning spreads out into branching channels when it strikes the ground.
