Abstract: It is true that such a long-range forecasting of lightning is not possible, the reason being the abrupt high value of the parameters at the time of lightning strike as compared to other weather conditions. But still a system that will predict the occurrence of lightning over few minutes or few hours will be beneficial for protection of lives and equipments. In this work, atmospheric electric field data are used for devising an alarm system for lightning. With the help of Markov chain stochastic modelling of the electric field data, probabilities of a lightning strike are calculated. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 2015
