The materials and construction of buildings and structures used should be linked to the number of lightning strikes per year. Lightning protection of buildings and structures should be based on the parameters of thunderstorms in the territory of the project design. Thunderstorm is one of the most dangerous meteorological phenomena. Both ground objects and aircrafts are affected by thunderstorm activity: airplanes and rockets. The main objective of this work is a comparative assessment of the buildings and structures impact by lightning, depending on the methodology for determining the thunderstorms duration in hours for the territories in the North Caucasus. The analysis on the basis of data from the thunderstorm direction finding net (TDFN) of the FSI “VGI” and data from weather stations has been performed. To solve this problem, a study on the relationship between the number of days with a thunderstorm and the duration of thunderstorms in hours for the territories in the North Caucasus has been performed on the FSI “VGI” (TDFN) data basis. In order to determine the above-mentioned statistical characteristics of thunderstorms and their variations in the North Caucasus, for the first time in Russia, the LS 8000 lightning recorder manufactured by “Vaisala” Finland was used.
