Lightning is a physical phenomenon, which is often seen as a source of destruction causing millions of dollars in losses annually. over voltages due to lightning is a great challenge for the transmission system designer and researchers. The researchers almost have to keen to mitigate overvoltage problems. Since, lightning causes significant damages to life and property its prediction is very necessary., Due to prediction of lightning at least we know the probability of lightning in the form of low, medium and high range by using fuzzy logic system. This system provides idea behind the prediction of lightning hazards.

Keywords: Lightning, fuzzy logic system, over voltages.
