The same problem occurs if you are under a canopy or some other structure in your hot tub. Have you ever tried to run away from anything whilst in the a hot tub? Of course, it’s not possible and you are a bit of a sitting duck! This wouldn’t be great either as you would then be at risk of being hit by falling wood or masonry. However, the chances are that, if you are in your hot tub in your garden during a lightning strike that a tree or the house would be more likely to be hit than the hot tub. On balance, lightning is normally attracted to the tallest thing in the vicinity so, if you are out in the open in a hot tub and sitting up in it then you could possibly be hit before the hot tub itself. So, yes, you can definitely be hit by lightning whilst in a hot tub and, whilst a hot tub doesn’t “attract” the lightning to it, it will conduct the electricity very well once it is hit causing electrocution to anyone in the water. The minerals are responsible for turning pure water, which is an insulator, into an electrolyte.

However, natural water is full of minerals which are dissolved into it and they are responsible for conducting the electricity. You might have thought this to be the case and actually distilled water doesn’t conduct electricity and is a good insulator. Why is it that water and electricity are such a bad mix? Surely water is wet and insulates from electricity? Bear in mind that water is an excellent conductor of electricity and that if an electrical charge comes into contact with any water that you are in then it will pass to your body as well!īut, hang on a minute.
This even applies to hot tubs that are inside as even if lightning strikes in the vicinity it can potentially travel through electrical lines and plumbing.
Lightning can even strike up to 10 miles away from the actual storm centre so if there is even a storm just brewing or rumbling around in the distance you should consider not being in your hot tub. There are a number of safe places to be during a thunderstorm and I can categorically guarantee to you that being in your hot tub isn’t one of them! It might sound vaguely romantic to be wallowing in the lovely hot water watching a lightning display and listening to the thunder rumbling around but, if there is even the faintest inkling of a storm nearby then the best advice is to get out of the water and to stay out. Can you get struck by lightning in a hot tub? There seems to be a number of misunderstandings about how safe it is to be around water during storms and people are unwittingly putting themselves at risk of electrocution on a daily basis. In the U.S between 10 and 20 people per year suffer from injuries caused by a combination of lightning strikes and domestic water usage. A lightning strike to a hot tub would concentrate the electrical charge and you would get a serious electrical shock. Water is a good conductor of electricity. So, is it safe to use a hot tub in a thunderstorm? No, it definitely is not safe to use a hot tub during a thunderstorm as there is a serious risk of electrocution. Sitting in a gloriously warm hot tub in the snow or in the dark is wonderful but, have you ever wondered if it’s a good idea to use your hot tub in a thunderstorm or not?
