New Year, No Lightning Strikes: Be Prepared for 2026 Lightning Season

The start of a new year is a natural time to reset, refocus, and make decisions that protect what matters most. While many organizations and property owners plan for growth, upgrades, and efficiency in the year ahead, one critical risk is often left to chance: lightning. As we look toward the 2026 lightning season, now is the time to prepare—before storms are on the horizon. 


Lightning is Unpredictable by Nature 


Lightning does not follow schedules, forecasts, or convenience. It can strike without warning, in unexpected locations, and with devastating consequences. No region, structure, or vessel is immune. Playing the “it probably won’t happen to us” game is a gamble—one that can result in costly damage, operational downtime, safety hazards, and long-term disruption. 


The High Cost of Playing a Game of Chance 


Traditional lightning protection methods are reactive by design, addressing damage only after a strike has already occurred. At that point, the financial, operational, and safety impacts are unavoidable. Repairs, insurance claims, lost productivity, and reputational risk quickly add up. Relying on chance is not a strategy—it’s a liability. 


Proactive Protection When It Matters Most 


True preparedness means investing in protection that works before a strike ever happens. CMCE Lightning Suppression is engineered to prevent lightning formation over a protected area, significantly reducing the likelihood of a strike in the first place. Rather than managing damage after the fact, CMCE focuses on eliminating the threat at its source.
